the way it intended to work is, u dun hav to close it manually.
whenever u done wit an app A, just switch to next app B.
app A will b put in pause modem which wont use any resource. it will auto close after a while idling.

*
but although it don't use any resource from the CPU, but it uses up RAM as shown when I access task manager to check..

another problem I face is I can't get some programme to work cuz it says it fail to connect to internet to check whether that programme safe to use or not..

i guess once the unused apps clog up certain amount of ram, a mechanism will trigger to close the unwanted apps.

dis developer preview looks more like OS for smartphone for noob, where the user doesn't bother to close apps.

i hope microsoft will understand this as advanced windows user would like more control over their OS.

As the name implies, it's a preview for developers, so don't expect it to include features for the end users. smile.gif

i worried coz microsoft seems to focus the interface a little bit too much on tablet.
wile the interface is cool, it's not really practical for keyboard & mouse.

anyway, another problem......
wat if 1 of the apps, which i dun wan it to close, but i leave it idle for too long & it auto closes.
does it resume the next time i reopen it?

Microsoft should focus on the touch interface. The default interface should be pretty much like the previous version, why should there any radical changes to it?

Yes. Dual boot is supported by Windows 8. But you have to careful when you try to install windows 8. You must have to select advance installation to have dual boot. You can learn more about the topic at http://www.techyv.com/questions/unable-boot-windows-8

Thank You. smile.gif
