Well, in Emacs, using Alt for accessing the menus (which I think is
what Lennart used it for) is not really necessary as you can always
bind a command to any key you want. But in other Windows apps, using
the Alt key is often a workaround for situations where there are no
keyboard shortcuts provided. For example, by using Alt + Space you can
access the window menu in all apps (apart from Emacs of course :) and
from there with a single key maximize or minimize or move or whatever.

For me, Emacs "stealing" the Alt key has never been a problem, I find
that Alt+x (M-x) makes up for that, and more.
