I think you mean the same effect as on Windows Vista.

Yes, the same effect as that evil operating system.

Yes, he means in a similar manner to an environment most are familiar with, in order to confirm graphically that the computer will do what you expect it to do.

ubby,
I think it has been ever since Windows 95.
It is an important feature as it provides visual-feedback of an action and improves usability.

There should be some indication that the file is no longer going to be in the current drive once a paste action has been performed. I think this is one area where Windows did it right. Let's stea... borrow the idea and make it our own.
