It might not be a good idea to play on an assumption that the points 
raised are based on 'armchair whatever'. Things like that can backfire as 
soon as you learn that these points come from people that actually have 
professional experience in the usability field :-)

Calm down; nobody is saying the problem is not real, or should be ignored. 
Just that this one solution proposed here is in need of refinement.

Being calm, its easier to see that pressing alt-tab to switch windows is 
about the same as the above behavior.  Both _can_ show the popup, but 
they don't have to.
