Run it at full screen and can't back to the browser view. All function keys are captured. Nice.

Now add Excel or Word to it. Running it at full screen would be a nice "I'm working hard" wallpaper for the people peeping over your shoulder.

This gives me the feeling I think I would have on a holodeck- everything is superficially very realistic if you don't dig too deep.
