Back when I was involved with some GUI work, we called this type of
thing ETM, or Entertain The Monkey.  It started out as little cute
animated graphics like pieces of paper moving from one folder to
another.  It then graduated to marketing hype presented during
installation.

The best was back in the days of DOS when the system would crash, yet
the progress indicator routine running as a TSR (Terminate and Stay
Resident - remember those :-) would continue to run.
