    *tries to shrink an NTFS volume in preparation for a new BTRFS volume*
    (shameless ad: check out
    https://github.com/maharmstone/...! BTRFS on Windows, how cool is that?)
    Windows Disk Management: ah surely, I can do that for you.
    *clicks "shrink"*

    Well that disk calculation process is taking a long time...
    *checks Task Manager*
    *notices a pretty disk-intensive defrag process*
    … Yeah.. defragging. Seems reasonable. Guess I'll just let it finish its defragmentation process. After that it should just be able to shrink the NTFS filesystem and modify the partition table without any issues. After all, I've done this manually in Linux before, and after defragging (to relocate the files on the leftmost sectors of the disk) it finished in no time.
    *defrag finishes*
    Alright, time to shrink!
    ….
    Taking a shitton of time...
    *checks Task Manager again*
    System taking a lot of disk this time.. not even a defrag? How long can this shit take at 40MB/s simultaneous read and write?

    *many minutes passed, finished that episode of Elfen Lied, still ongoing...*
    Fucking piece of Microshit. Are you really copying over the entire 1.3TB that that disk is storing?! Inefficient piece of crap.. living up to the premise of Shitware indeed!!!
