I'm certain you don't understand what a multi-tasking OS really is.

This would absolutely be a deal killer on any desktop OS for me. I leave my apps open for days on end, usually as a reminder that I have some unfinished business going on. If my OS were to close those windows without me knowing about it I would be infuriated. I think Brent was being generous in saying this would be…
