The Vista busy cursor
The Vista busy cursor is very interesting. Everyone I know liked it instantly. However, it deviates substantially from the hour-glass busy cursors we were used to.
The funny part is that everyone seems to call it by their own name. I sent an email to an internal alias to find out what is was called and got a the correct answer as Activity Spinner or Busy Cursor (hey it was from it's designer so it has to be correct :) ). But other people pitched in with there own names....
