In the true spirit of the Windows 3.1 usability labs, copying and deleting files in Windows is as flawed as ever. I sometimes wonder whether the coders and PMs for the Windows file management components must actually use Linux or OS X. I’m sure they can’t use Windows, or, they have never tried to copy or delete a large amount of files within which one is open by another process, at which point Windows helpfully stops and doesn’t continue…WHY? … How can this make any logical sense? OK I know I should use Robocopy to ease my copy woes, but why doesn’t MS help and put the functionality of Robocopy into plain old copy ? </rant>
