Somehow Windows struggles with file i/o and always has been. When copying stuff to floppy disks in Win 3 or 95 the progress bar steadily grew to 100% and since floppies were loud, you could hear that the actual copying only started then and you had to wait longer staring at 100% than the progress bar before.

You just gave me a nostalgia bomb of copying files on Win98/XP and watching the little files fly from one folder to the other for 5 minutes after the progress bar filled up.

I miss little animations like that, makes me wish there were more fun little things in OS UIs these days. Now everything is just a bar and a number.

watching the little files fly wasn't it pieces of paper?

It’s been a minute, man. I haven’t used WinXP since 2009
