remembering the time i got a new computer and it had windows vista installed (it had just come out). not believing all the bad reports i thought i will try it out. i installed a few things then defrag'ed the drive. instead of saying how long the defrag would take as previous versions of windows did, the popup said "this might take from a few minutes to a few hours" and the next morning 6 or 8 hours later it was still going, with no indication of when it might be done. linux got installed on the new computer soon after that.
