It looks like Vista will finally overhaul the box that you see when copying files.

I’m glad it has a new look, but what I really want is for it to have an intelligent way of handling copy errors, so that if an error occurs in the middle of a 3-hour copy operation, you have the option to continue anyway rather than starting over.  The copy dialog should simply keep and display a list of which files had copy errors, so that you can deal with them when the rest of the files have finished copying.
