It's not old hat to me and I'm glad you mentioned it. I've always made it a point to buy monitors that have two inputs so I can switch between two computers, but this would allow three computers on one monitor and getting a kybd and mouse off my cluttered desk.

Not a good idea if you are into photo editting, desktop publishing or graphic arts.

Customer support? In all my 15+ years of buying Apple computers, I called Apple once about their own bugs in the G4/OS9 and they wouldn't talk to me. They wanted me to call back and pay money to tell them about their own stupid bugs and how I'm supposed to get around them. Add to that, that I was a software developer writing commercial Mac software, but that didn't matter. Worst customer service ever and probably lost me as a future Mac customer for good.
