Snarl is a notification system inspired by Growl for Macintosh that lets applications display fancy messages on the screen with the minimum of fuss - no complex code, libraries or other middleware required.

Unlike other forms of Windows notification, Snarl does not hijack the current focused window, nor does it force the taskbar to be visible. Notifications can either be cancelled by clicking on them, or left to disappear automatically if ignored for a period of time. Messages are extensible too: Snarl will notify the application which displayed the message if the user clicks it.

Probably best of all is that Snarl can display several messages at any one time; new messages are simply displayed alongside existing ones.
