Vista is incapable of simple division
So, I have a new computer. And I'm very happy with it. It's a Toshiba Satellite U305 and I highly recommend it.
However, everything I have heard about Vista is true. It's just horrible.
For example, I am currently transferring a lot of files from my old computer to my new one. The file transfers are going fine. Right now, I currently have 156MB left of a particular transfer, and it's going at a rate of 171kB/s. But according to the file transfer window, it will take 7644 days to finish the transfer. All of that information is in the same window. It's clear that the transfer is going well because the amount remaining keeps dropping, but somehow, they can't just do the simple division, and they give me a figure like 7644 days. Now it says 29041 days...
