JoeTheZombie Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Too funny. But, I've never seen a real installation progress bar.... They sit at 1% for 20 seconds, then zoom all the way to 63% instantly, only to pause for some amount of time before jumping to 100%. Sometimes they just zoom right to 100% and then the machine sits for a while. Other times, they reach 100% only to start over again and again. I've come to hate the progress bar for install programs... a throbber would be more useful.

BRP Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Ah, let's not forget the infamous "Windows 5 minutes" which can be anywhere from 1 minute to 30 minutes depending on the version of Windows and the beefiness of the computer.
