pc waiting
Old Thought Process
In the past my perception has been that the “XX Minutes Remaining” on a Windows dialog box was an acknowledgement of work requested and the estimation of the time the PC needs to complete said task.
New Perception
The “XX Minutes Remaining” is truly based on a non-linear timer that hasn’t really started yet. And while there may be movement in either direction with an increase or decrease to the overall estimation for completing you request, the submission is truly that – a _request_. When the dialog box goes away, that’s when you know I finished your _request_. Don’t push me… or your _request_ will be faulted.
