Pete FreitagAttention to detail
I noticed something new today on my Mac. When you download a file with Safari, the icon for the new file has a progress bar that updates as it downloads.
After seeing this feature that many people like myself have probably never even noticed before, I thought wow, Apple really does pay close attention to detail. This is perhaps one of the reasons for their success.

In Linux, I have also noticed lots of similar effects and felt the same feelings :)

MK,
> so to have an animation of something I'll never look at is a waste of my processor.
You must be referring to Window's animated 'copying' dialog box! ;-)
Pete, I've noticed a similar display in the dock with application icons showing the progress too. Nice.

If my memory serves Microsoft IE for Mac version 3 or 4 first introduced the idea of updating the icon to show down.load progress.
