The comic suggests exactly the opposite: the Windows time estimation is so bad because its author actually thinks like that. It's not such an otherworldly concept.<br />The only fault I can see with today's strip is the fact that it should have been done 10 years ago, not TODAY.

The alt-text is pretty balls, but nobody's perfect.<br /><br />That's three comics in a row that didn't make me lose hope for humanity!
