I hate it when I'm installing a program and the status bar fills up...and then an empty status bar replaces it. What the heck is the point of a status bar if it gives no indication when something is going to be done?

have you tried using vista, every status bar does that no matter what is loading. It is annoying.

Status bars are nearly pointless on computers anyway, because the first 50% may still take longer than the last 50% etc.  The only thing they are really useful for is download bars and knowing for sure the computer is still working on something.

Agreed.  That's why every company should do what Nintendo did when copying files to and from your SD card.

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!
