I personally find it awesome, as it seems to be the best of both worlds without the negative impacts (At least I haven't had any of those issues). I can easily tab out of my game without the excessive downtime (Black screen) while not being distracted by IMs such as MSN. So, I'm just curious if there's any downside I've not found and I guess this might also help people find a new feature they might have not tried? | ||

Likewise, I've been using it forever in WoW and now SC2. I really don't see a downside, as I haven't personally noticed any FPS differences, but for some reasons many of my friends dislike windowed mode. Personal preference I guess. | ||

I don't see a change besides in window full screen you cant't pick a resolution or change your gamma and hertz You can alt tab without lagging or freezing, and for people with widescreen monitors that cant change aspect ratio we can finally see mineral/gas/food count. | ||
