As I've stated before anyone wanna take bets on how many of the Pocket PC OS development team members run app closer utils? I'm betting they all do.
This attitude from Microsoft on closing applications is asinine. Yo Bill G. Repeat after me......
THIS IS A POCKET PC.....NOT A PALM....THIS IS NOT RUNNING THE PALM OS AND AS SUCH THINGS SLOW DOWN WHEN YOU DON'T CLOSE APPS.
Even with memory management it sucks. Try opening up an adobe file, play some music, dink around with a spreadsheet, and browse the web. It might not be eating a high % of memory but its killing the system anyways. Maybe some of the newer CPU's can handle this better but on my Jornada 568 it can slow the system down. Period. Closing apps at least on my system is mandatory.
I have and always will be totally confused by Microsoft's attitude on this. These type of utils are one of the must have apps on any Pocket PC. Heck even OEM's are loading them. Would it be so hard for Microsoft to have an option under the control panel that would allow you to select the behavior of the X.
For the love of god Microsoft!! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COMMON SENSE!!
