Also, leaving kitchen cupboard doors and drawers open was frowned on too. <br /><br />Both Microsoft and Apple have adopted the same practice of leaving their apps open after we exit them. Microsoft claims their apps automatically suspend their CPU and RAM usage when they lose focus. Apple makes a similar claim with the iPhone and iPad. I still think there has to be something going on.<br /><br />When I do remember, I use the Alt + F4 keys to kill Windows 8 apps when I'm finished using them. It would be easier to have them close by themselves though.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-45099852425041639282013-04-21T00:37:39.948-05:002013-04-21T00:37:39.948-05:00A few months ago I was at Micro Center and told on...A few months ago I was at Micro Center and told one of the tec's there I was thinking about buying a new lap top and what did he think of Windows 8.....I can not post what he said here.
