TaskQueue. How is this bad?

I've reviewed the QueuedTaskScheduler and I'm very confused.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/pfxteam/archive/2010/04/09/9990424.aspx[^]

So I wrote this class to do what I wanted.
What I wanted is a class that will queue up tasks in the background and start them in order with a lower priority. Also managing a maximum concurrency.

But also I wanted to allow for the the provided Action/Task to be executed synchronously (or not) when a maximum queue limit is reached.

Can someone tell me how this might be bad or why I should simply use a TaskScheduler?
