In order to have a progress bar wouldn't you have to know where it starts and ends :p

:rolleyes:umm yeah, but we can have like windows 7 rtm on the bottom and predict the milestones such as m1, m2, m3, beta, pre-rc, rc, pre-rtm, rtm, ga.:rolleyes:

I think this is actually a really cool idea. And it will be a lot of fun. John could put it right under The Eight Forums name, and it would look cool if it fit the theme.

Have it start with 7 RTM, and end with 8 RTM. We can predict dates (I did this on Seven forums)
I believe the alpha is still in testing, so we should be getting leaks in 3 years or so. The beta will probably be late 2011 to mid 2012. I am putting RTM at mid 2013. We will see how close I am in 4 years.

I stand by that.

I also think, if done right, this could be a neat little feature.

    I've modified nearly everything in this machine...what I HAVEN'T changed is the DVD drive, case, and motherboard. I think I added just about everything else I use.

Yeah, it will be like the infamous progress bar already in Windows and some applications.

"50 minutes remaining." (1 minute later)...
"38 minutes remaining." (1 minute later)...
"9 minutes remaining." (1 minute later)...
"2 minutes remaining." (1 minute later)...
"14 minutes remaining." ARRRG!

I think it's a great idea - I don't think i've seen that kind of thing on any other Windows sites. It would make the site more unique and individual, and give it a nice touch.

Could backfire and have a negative effect though. Might make viewing guests not want to sign up, and just look at the progress bar and wait till it gets close to the first leak. Affect user sign up in other words. Not to mention it probably wouldn't be too accurate, just based on speculation. :rolleyes:
