Keywords: looks neat, anybody tried the fancy stuff?

I was reading the version of Inside Switcher in the latest software
supplement, and was rather intrigued by all the neat stuff that 
"switcher-aware" programs can do. 

For instance, the bit about a program being able to access data out of an
inactive partition in a controlled fashion...

Anybody heard any rumors about the level of "Switcher-compatibility"
in the upcoming Servant? Will it include this esoteric stuff?

In reading the messaging descriptions, I couldn't help thinking about the
"10 challenges" that were posted on this newsgroup recently. It looks like
with a little bit of work you can have the framework for "HotView" style
interactions between programs without having to take the glob-it-all-together
route of Jazz.

		Comments anyone?
