because for the things that has already been explained. Progress bars do not
give any good information. Take a look at a Windows install for example:
remain 10 minutes...
20 minutes later:
remain 10 minutes...
*But* if Windows showed the actual steps instead of a progress bar, after a
few installations, I could "manually" estimate the remaining time on ANY
hardware with more precision.
