apple are slowly moving to a fuzzy style language soon we'll have "deleting soon" instead of estimated time which is always wrong anyway.

It's even better when it's the opposite:

Estimated time < 5 minutes.  (3 hours later...)

And from what I hear, Vista occasionally says that a copy job will take multiple thousand hours, and based on the data rate that it's actually doing (scanning each file for copyrighted content or some crap like that,) that's realistic. :eek:
