QUOTE(shirley_andy @ Sep 24 2011, 09:22 PM) just installed and tried, the way it intended to work is, u dun hav to close it manually.what I don't like is its troublesome if I wanna close a program(must use task mngr), and very troublesome if wanna switch between programmes, eg switching Socialite to Tweet@rama, either need to alt+tab or click start, can't click at task bar..  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. problem is, when i wanna open a lot of apps, & no longer need it, then when i switch app using alt+tab, those unwanted apps haven't close. meaning i hav to scroll through more apps to get to the 1 i actually wan. also an issue, wat i u r running something inappropriate & u wanna close it immediately......  |

QUOTE(shirley_andy @ Sep 25 2011, 06:17 PM) 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.. i guess once the unused apps clog up certain amount of ram, a mechanism will trigger to close the unwanted apps.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.. 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. |

QUOTE(FarCry3r @ Sep 26 2011, 09:54 AM) As the name implies, it's a preview for developers, so don't expect it to include features for the end users. 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? |
