pogle: Just wanted to make note, for anyone interested. If you create a shortcut to the HostileWaters.exe file, and add a '-windowed' (Minus the 's) at the end of the target line in the shortcut properties, the game runs in windowed mode. That's always a bonus for me since I like to multi-task, and to be able to swap desktops in Synergy without games freaking out.
It automatically pauses the game and kills all sound from it when you change focus. You can miss cutscenes though, they keep playing without sound.
Really enjoying the game so far, its a nice concept being able to take personal control of units when you wish.
