I just got this as a new feature on the PCs at work (I'm just a user
there and it's a megacorp, so fat chance of them changing anything there
based upon my two cents) and while I do love that I can stay in word and
keep on typing unless I need to deal with the new email, I can imagine
it would suck if you were playing Quake or watching a movie (HTPC,
etc.). Again, this seems to be a "need to do it right, otherwise it will
annoy the users" thing.
