Would you ever use it? If so, when? I believe a pause button for moving files makes no sense whatsoever. Windows 8 isn't neccesarily a successful OS, now is it? ;-)

I have to disagree with you Kleinman and support Saaz Rai. I find (and found - yes i have used Windows 8) the pause feature very useful and helpful. When would I use it? That kind of situatations come up sometimes. For example: when i have been copying a file with size of many GB's for a while, but suddenly I need to start copying another big file, fast as I can. Without the pause feature I would have to cancel the first copy action (obviously, because there's no pause feature :D) to get the second file copying done fast as possible, to keep doing what I were doing before. With the "pause" feature, I personally thing, that we would save loads of time and the productivity would grow, alot! And that's why I support the pause feature! (Y) +1
