I love them too, but let's think for a moment about why they even exist. As Tracy says, they just tell us whether our computers are locked up. If it weren't for the poor user experience that we've been subjected to with bad operating systems, clunky applications or web pages that have unacceptable load times, would we need them? If the products have achieved acceptable levels of functionality/usability, the progress bars of which we are so fond might not be necessary. I personally find that I'm less reliant on them when I'm using a Mac. :-)
