Don’t forget when the update stage actually reads 100%, which makes no logical sense because if the stage was at 100%, you wouldn’t still be telling me we are processing it as the current stage.
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.
meanwhile updates on linux telling me exactly what is happening in real time, working completely in the background, and politely informing me that i may wish to reboot to apply all the updates properly
Linux updates are much superior, but Windows updates have not taken more than 5 minutes for me for a long time.
I just hate all the reboots. Linux can update everything, even kernels now, and no downtime. Reminds me of crap home internet routers: “oh you changed the date&time? Then I gotta reboot”

It’s been a minute, man. I haven’t used WinXP since 2009
Yup that one really pisses me off.
