By pushing the cursor, the system could lead the user to the next point where it wants his or her input, or suggest particular options by moving the cursor over them. This might be useful In situations where the user has to make a choice (such as Yes/No/Cancel confirm dialogs), cursor displacements could steer the cursor toward the recommended option.

As another example, so-called ‘wizards’ are often used to guide users through a complex process such as configuring a network connection or installing an application. In such wizards, the user is sequentially presented with a number of choices or input fields. If there is only one choice or input field on screen, the system could take the initiative to guide the cursor towards it, and in the case of more input options the cursor could be guided to a suggested or most likely option.

This sounds like a good application. I am a system administrator and always totally annoyed by the installations i have to go through when reinstalling a system. Hope this idea is implemented by all the software house soon.
