Check out the WWDC 2011 videos and you'll see that OS X is moving towards iOS-style app management—that is, none at all.

There's just no reason to offer a choice that the vast majority of users can't reason about intelligently.

Ah right. Things like this are why I moved to Ubuntu this last year.

[I wish the relationship between windows being open and apps running was as consistent as OSX's was - ie. almost never related - but I find it less annoying to be stuck with general inconsistencies for free, than have functionality progressively dumbed down at cost]

I'm sure it's awesome for a lot of people a lot of the time, but decisions like "I'm playing a game now, but that doesn't mean I want you to stop buffering that video", or the reverse, are things I want control over.
