I also have been wondering. I see this taking one of two truns.

A) It sall runs all the time, requiring editing startup items or disabling widegets/effects.

B) They get smart and add a code to games that disables effects when the game executable is started.

C) (I know I said 2) Computers by the time Vista is released will laugh at running only a game and effects at the same time, quad core by then will probably be kicking up.

I heard part of the WinSAT APIs (mentioned in the Extremetech article) was the ability for game developers to request that Windows tone down all its fancy behind-the-scenes stuff while a game is running fullscreen - thus, the search indexer or whatnot will not run while you're gaming.
