A method and an apparatus for reducing perceived visual response to user inp ut at a client node are described. The client node remotely executes an application program on a server node wherein all execution of the applicatio n program occurs on the server node. The client node (10) transmits user- provided input to the server node (14), and the user-provided input elicits a response from the server node that is transmitted back to the client for display. The client node receives the user input to be transmitted to the server node. The client node can obtain the user input (34) through a keyboa rd or a pointing device. In response to the user input, the client node produce s a prediction (30) of a server response to the user input. The client node th en displays the prediction (22). The display of the prediction provides the client user with a faster visual response to the user input than could be obtained from the server node. Upon receiving the server response, the clien t node displays the server response, overwriting the prediction.
