What day is it today? - I have been caught up in a Microsoft torment that sadly includes the word “format”. It was to the point where the solutions needed solutions.

Here is Todd Bishop’s presentation of that Bill Gates’ email:

Over five years after that email was sent, it seems that Bill Gates may well be describing my present computer conundrum… “What the heck is going on during those 6 minutes? That is crazy. This is after the download was finished.” - It is strangely reassuring that the founder of Microsoft has experienced a similar Windows insanity.
