Copying Brandon’s Copy

Via Brandon Paddock, a note on how Vista handles file transfers:

Now, when you copy a large number of files/folders - Vista will prompt you for any permissions, overwrite requests, etc - at the start of the operation, for everything in the copy list. It will also copy as much as it can and save any errors for the end of the operation, so that you don’t walk away and come back later to find that one little error has stopped your entire copy operation.

It also has replaced the “Yes / Yes To All / No� style options, with more descriptive options and a “Do this for all� checkbox - thus ending cries of “Where is No To All!?!?!� (which secretly could be achieved in older version of Windows by holding down the SHIFT key while pressing No).

See, that’s freakin’ smart. Why aren’t they marketing THAT instead of THIS?
