For instance, if you are working on some application while a download is happening on the other window, you can just move the mouse pointer on that application for a second and you will see the download status. While you are done, just slide the mouse away and you will get back to the window you were working on.
Some of you might not like this feature because when the mouse moves accidentally, it changes the screen.
