I am also waiting for the answers. To me it seems like we are going from icon everyone didn't understand to flashing window which can easily be ignored specially in todays world with multi-monitors and a lots of windows you care about.

Also I would like to know what happens when the windows is automatically opened and user is not able to act on it right now because use doesn't want to or can't because of internet ore whatever. Does the user will be prompted again after seven or whatever the interval is? Sorry for asking this again and again but just really want to know.
