In fact the sense of response which I do like most is Mac OS X's progress bar. What's nice about it is even if the whole program crashes and the progress is not increasing, the colored ripples and waves in the progressing bar looks so nice and give the real illusion of something happening.
Another thing to note is that you are all speaking here of fake progress and responses as if it is something tricky and decisive. However, I think we would all agree that there is NO response feedback ever in Microsoft productions that is not fake ranging from copy progress, IE loading, hardware detection and all other things. For this I think we should feel pretty normal having as many fake UI elements as we just need to make our users happy. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
