Great video.  One thing that the OS can do to exhibit better manners is to revamp the way that focus changes among windows today.  Today in Vista applications jump out and take window focus from others. THis is super annoying.  I noticed when using a mac that this is done right on the Mac.  Please look at the window manager focus problem and solve it with Windows 7.  This would take windows to another level altogether!
