Re: [WIN8] Biggest gripe about Win 8... On a Desktop system I don't want ANY Power Options. I want it to run FULL POWER all the time. So I agree with you on those setting. On my notebook I use them for longer battery life.

said by Shootist:On Mac most programs do not close when you close the window for that program.
This behavior is slowly disappearing, and both the Mac and Windows are beginning to manage apps in a similar way. Starting in OS 10.7 Lion, and even more in 10.8 Mountain Lion, the OS now has automatic termination. If the application explicitly supports automatic termination, when the OS detects there are no open windows, no background processes doing work, there's nothing to save, and the application no longer has focus, the OS will quit the app. On my Mac, all of these apps will fully quit after you close the last window: Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Reminders, TextEdit, Preview. Other applications that fully quit themselves when you close the window include: App Store, Image Capture. Now the only apps that remain open in the background after closing the window are: web browsers, Mail, iTunes. Web browsers stay open so they are quick to re-open. Mail stays open to fetch email in the background. iTunes stays open to play music and sync with iDevices.
So if you hated how the Mac kept apps open all the time, upgrade to the latest OS. Now there's only 3 or 4 applications that stay open all the time.

| That is true and false. If you have a Mac start every app you can then close the windows for them. Look and see how much RAM is being used and processes are running. Then let it sit and see if those processes close and how long it takes. I have and the OS never really closes the App.

Well if this is your biggest gripe about 8, I guess you don't have any real problems and like it just fine.

Automatic termination is a feature of OS X 10.7 and later. Apps have to be re-written to take advantage of it. |

Re: [WIN8] Biggest gripe about Win 8... Wow, the default picture application is really minimalist as well! I guess the new trend is to remove functionality and make programs as simple as possible... |

No delays, stuttering or choking when you throw it a big job. |

No delays, stuttering or choking when you throw it a big job. You mean you're sensitive to the few microseconds it takes to uprev the CPU freq?
"Stuttering or choking" sounds like nonsense to me. |

You can still set the power options for the CPU minimum to 100% - that will keep your power company happy and your fan well exercised.
