apps running

[Guest]

Hi I would like to see an option in the games area or somewhere that you
choose if you are going to be playing games or not and it shuts down and
starts certain programs. Or it would be nice that since it gets information
from you about games we install, we could choose certain programs that we
dont want shut down and other programs and rate them on how much we want to
keep them to the least when we are playing games and it will shut them down
if it would improve the game. Also on that It could give us an option once we
get out of the game it would ask if we want to start everything back up. Also
for things hat arnt shut down, this is mainly for IM's, it would stop all
notifications and set us as busy in ims or something if we dont set them to
shut down.

A feature along those lines was already announced ~year ago for Vista.

Whether it will also put you away on IM - not quite sure. IM devs use many
ways to detect if user is idle, new API to create a common ground for
communicating the user intent between OS and apps might be needed, or some
hackery..
