MSN Screensaver with Search & RSS

The MSN Search Weblog has a post announcing a free MSN Screensaver with Search & RSS. Every now and then something comes along that makes you have to say, huh? I guess I'm having trouble understanding the concept behind putting stuff you have to read on your screen saver. Are they envisioning people sitting around staring at their inactive screens, trying not to touch the mouse to disrupt the display of RSS feeds and web pages? Why not just go to the web pages or to one of a million start pages provided by Yahoo, Google and everyone else that provides all these features on demand. Am I not getting it... or is Microsoft?
