Wifey and I had a good chuckle on this.

She said the installer she's running reminds her of our washing machine - says 1 Minute Remaining, and 20 minutes later it is still toying with me.  Sometimes 5 minutes takes 1 minute.

That Is Funny, I have to say Microsoft is not the only one that has this problem.

I noticed that they and others have abandoned some of the progress bars in favor of a animated GIF image of green squares moving back and forth that tells me absolutely nothing about what hour it will finish.
