I'm assuming it's counting up sizes so it can give you an estimate of how 
long it'll take. It's also pretty annoying that now when you move a 
directory to another place on the same disk, or into the recycle bin, it 
usually winds up counting something instead of just moving the one 
directory. Weird.

Wait for Windows 8?  That sort of stuff is pretty hard to get right, 
generally speaking. Vista is still better with this stuff than XP was.

Heck, I'd be happy if the little pieces of paper stopped flying from one 
folder to the other when the copy actually broke. WTF good is a progress 
indicator that runs regardless of whether you're making progress?
