There are more reasons why I want to have different users. For instance, 
you should be able to pause whatever it is you're playing, go away, let 
others use the TV, and when you come back, you just press play.

But using a big screen only for TV is a big waste. I have a netbook, and 
it's nice for its purposes, but being able to just connect to a big 
screen and use it without any cables would be a huge gain. It would make 
all netbooks and laptops more valuable, not only providing a bigger 
screen, but also more processing power that would otherwise not be used 
at all.
