>As I said I hate that. Because it is very annoying. Why the application try to get my attention? If I want I'll switch to it WHEN I could. If I have work to do with other application and something starts to flash on my taskbar in most cases I just close the application.

The three blinks isn't that bad. That specially goes for the IM windows (where I usually shut off the sound) , so I get some visual clue that someone is trying to contact me.

Now if it kept blinking on me, I'd not just close the app, I'd probably uninstall it and look for a replacement.
