I’m little late to installing the Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1.  Part of the problem is that the Microsoft Update process never told me that there was an update available.

But while the update was running I noticed that the progress dialog left a little bit to be desired.

So what’s wrong with the dialog?  The progress dialog was kind enough to tell me how much time was remaining with the download progress.  It wasn’t kind enough to tell me how much time was estimated to remain on the actual installation.  That’s a useful piece of information, particularly when you are in the middle of the workday.
