Estimated Transfer Time Is No More In Windows 8
MrSeb writes "Ahh, the Windows Explorer progress dialog. For years it has been struggling to figure out how to calculate how long our copy and delete operations would take, sliding the progress bar back and forth in a seemingly random, haphazard way, the laws of time all but ceasing to exist — five seconds remaining one moment and 13 minutes the next. That's (almost) all going to change, with the arrival of a greatly improved file management experience in Windows 8. Copy, move, delete, rename, and conflict resolution are all being overhauled and it's about time!"
A few days ago, it finally happened to me. Being an experienced PC user, I was shocked that I had been infected with a computer virus. This wasn't just any virus, however. It held my computer hostage and wouldn't go away unless I paid the creators $80! I thought I could get rid of it myself since I was an experienced PC user.
I was horribly, horribly wrong. None of the usual solutions worked at all! I wasted hour after hour trying to remove the virus. My life span was quickly dwindling away due to this nightmarish virus. My gigabits were running slower than ever, and my computer was underclocking. This virus succeeded in doing one thing: making me a mere shell of what I once was. I became filled with feelings of anger, emptiness, and depression. There was a time when I became so angry at this wretched virus that I struck my own four-year-old daughter and my wife.
That's when I found MyCleanPC. I went to their website, ran a free scan, and MyCleanPC made the virus vanish off of my PC right this minuteness. I couldn't believe how effective MyCleanPC was!
My daughter's response? "MyCleanPC is outstanding! My dad's computer is running faster than ever! MyCleanPC totally cleaned up my dad's system and increased his speed!"
MyCleanPC came through with flying colors where no one else could! If you're having computer problems like I was, then I honestly and wholeheartedly recommend that you use MyCleanPC to solve your problem. MyCleanPC will clean up all of your gigabits and you'll be overclocking in no time!
But even if you're not having any visible problems, I still recommend that you use MyCleanPC. If you do use MyCleanPC, your computer will be overclocking and your gigabits will be running like new! So use MyCleanPC right this minuteness!
Watch their commercial!

It's so hard for me to believe that so many people still use Windows. As a Ubuntu Desktop user and administrator of a small business network, I've been patiently waiting since 1999 for enough people to just ditch windows all together so that we could all move on to better times. Everyone I know who has tried Linux in the past few years hasn't gone back to Windows, and were all amazed that the computer 'Just Worked'. People are so used to struggling with Windows issues that they don't expect using a computer to be easy and it really doesn't have to be that way.
So perhaps this is a bit off topic, but every time an article comes out touting some new enhancement of the Microsoft Windows Operating system, I just feel compelled to say "Who fucking cares?" and "Why does anyone even bother with this Operating System designed with the main purpose being to lock up your computer spending dollar into Microsoft?" Don't we all know better already?
Please people, get over MS Windows already, let it die.
