People get frustrated with progress bars too but that's kind of orthogonal to what I am saying. HDD thrashing around is not the problem with the feedback mechanism (that's working just fine), but the underlying equipment has failed. Progress bars are notoriously annoying when they just don't move! Don't hate the progress bar, blame the equipment. I know there are some fake progress bars out there...just shows that giving feedback is so important that people fake it even!
- Moru 4y agoThe fake progress bar is still filling a function. It shows the computer didn't completely freeze up. There was a time when that was a big question. Did my computer freeze up and I need to press the power button? The mouse cursor might be hidden on the loading screen so you have no idea if it's working or crashed.
