You've never alt-tabbed out of a game to research something about it? Now you can paste that information on your screen for viewing simultaneously as you play. Though having a second monitor is nice, most people probably only have one monitor. I think it's a useful and nice to have feature. Nobody has to use it, but enough will.

yeah, I've alt+tabbed for a million reasons before, but I can't remember "taking a note about this game I'm playing" being one of them. Mainly because the games I play tend to show quest details and goals on the hud already, so requiring the player to take notes just feels like an odd thing to me. Perhaps the game itself should offer a note taking feature if that happens often.
