That one of the most annoying things with XP. Focus stealing, I mean.
It's not even rare that I'm writing something (at work), *some* pop-up
comes up and I have no idea what it said, since I just hit enter or
spacebar. IMO only the critical messages from OS should appear like that
and have OK-button disabled for 5 secs oslt, so they could be even
noticed before hitting enter. Of course configurability would be optimal
choice - let everyone choose what level of focus stealing they want.
