The DMVs are a great way to get a closer look at what is actually going on in your system.  In particular, for some operations, SQL Server populates the percentcomplete and estimatedcompletiontime (in milliseconds) in the DMV sys.dmexec_requests.  This can be very useful if you want to know how long your BACKUP or RESTORE will take (if you didn't use WITH STATS or are using command-line or a 3rd party tool), or whether you should go to lunch while your ROLLBACK is, well, rolling back...
