<div style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family:monospace">Also the "semantic" information is relevant for activities I think. Eg It makes a difference to which music I am listing if I am coding, or if I am just relaxing. So integrating the music player with the activities system also makes sense.</div>

<div style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family:monospace">The other point is a markenting point I think: you can show a friend your Plasma desktop and tell him "look all informations are shared system across, can your Windows system do the same?"</div>
