It's interesting to note the difference between the Windows 8 dialog has compared to the GNOME one.
You can minimise the Windows 8 dialog.
On Windows 8, the dialog shows both where the files are coming from and where they're going to.
By default, Windows hides most information in favour of a percentage. Click "More details" and Windows shows you much more information than GNOME does - Windows has emphasis on power user information.
The Windows dialog's layout is much better. The GNOME dialog's buttons stick out. GNOME's dialogs are really ugly and this is no exception.
It really shows the difference in polish between the two products.
My criticisms of Windows' dialog is that 'flat buttons' are aesthetically appealing but not particularly user-friendly, and perhaps Windows should show filesize and progress by default.

Also, you can pause the win8 operations, not just cancel them. As for ugliness, this seems to be a shot of Hardy, give or take, so 2008-ish. I would say that the Ambiance theme that debuted to much controversy in 2010 is improved over the screenshot. (And neither of these are Gnome's default.)
