Did Microsoft forget to put the Twirly "e" in IE 7.0?

My wife said her biggest frustration with IE 7 is that when a web page takes a long time to load, there is no spinning "e" symbol in the upper right corner of the window to let you know that IE is still working. I've looked through the menu's, including toolbar menu's, but cannot find a way to display it.

Did Microsoft leave this feature out of IE 7, or am I just missing something?

Any advice appreciated! (I know about FireFox %26amp; another browsers, I can't switch browsers right now).

Thanks!

No twirly e in IE7, there's a spinning blue "O" on EACH tab as they load!!! That's even better, because you can see WHICH tabs are loading and when they are fully loaded so you can click on them when they're ready. Don't forget the "Quick Tabs" button, that's just GREAT!!

And... there's still the good ol' "progress bar" at the bottom.

If you notice in IE 7 when a page is loading on the tab it has the spinning circle rather than the "twirly e" it is quite a nice touch =)
It is now on the tab. The rotating symbol is replaced by an icon when the page has loaded. They copied Firefox which has both.
They took it out, but when you load a page, in the tab bar it has a twirling circle, and there's still the progress bar.
Nope, Microsoft eliminated the "Throbber" from Internet Explorer 7.

Now each tab has its own spinning circle, so that you know if a tab has finished loading.
