Re: Fix for long, long, long deleting and copying of files?

Quote from article:
"Microsoft's inability to fix a defect in such a basic feature has led to
its share of conspiracy theories that would be quickly dismissed as kooky,
were it not for the company's steadfast refusal to provide any details about
what's causing the problem. The top contender: The inability to copy files
without stalling isn't a bug at all, but rather the result of a digital
rights management feature designed to protect Hollywood (even if the rest of
us have to cuss our way through four hours deleting a few gigs worth of
crap)."
