It's the opposite, Writer does it exactly as Windows wants it. If the desktop does not give the focus to a new task window this window must not steel it instead. The behavior of the Windows desktop has changed with WinXP (2000?). If you run the same version of OOo on Win98 you will see that the new OOo window always gets the focus - because Windows decided to do so. That should show you that OOo just follows the OS guide lines. If you don't like them - blame the desktop, not OOo.
