I've started using a dual monitor display at work (one
has a console and the other has web/email/whatever
else), so I move the mouse off of the console screen so
it isn't in the way. When I Alt+Tab, the window still
shows up on the screen with the console (because it has
focus), so I have to move the mouse all the way back
over to scroll through the programs, when I'd like it
to show up in the monitor my mouse is in (as a setting,
ofcourse).

Another time I encouter this sort of issue is when I
leave focus on one monitor (the console), but am
looking at all my information on the other monitors
(webpages and such). Scrolling through web browsers
with a scroll wheel doesn't always change the focus to
that window, so Alt-Tabing puts TaskSwitchXP on top of
the console in my other monitor.

Just an idea that could be handy for some people (as a
feature, ofcourse! I can think of PLEANTY of people who
wouldn't want or need this kind of an option). :)
