Situation: You have 2 Windows Vista machines connected via local area network. Assume they are equal (enough).

This Local Area Network is assumed to be IP4+IP6 only. No other rogue protocols.

You wish to copy all the files on machine A to machine B. You can do this one of two ways:

Way 1:
Select all the files on machine A, and put them on a share on machine B.

Way 2:
Copy all the files out of a share on machine A onto machine B.

Now, Here is whats interesting about this:

I'm doing this as we speak. Way 1 claimed that it would take 19 fucking hours.
Way 2 claims a time of 45 minutes.

Lets be very clear, we are not talking about an insignifigant amount of data. We're talking a lot of ones and zeros folks.

Anybody know why this might be?
