After being focus-stolen for the bazillionth time yesterday, I twittered my frustration, which went something like:

“Look, major operating system purveyors, it’s simple: if I start an application, then start a second app and begin working in it, then *don’t* let the first application steal focus when its ready to be used. Or even worse, when it has a splash screen to show off.”

@rickcecil on Twitter agreed, so I took that as some measure of validation.
