They want to make the idea of "running" irrelevant: to the user, it's active or inactive. No need to manage a list of running programs if what is actually running is made invisible and unimportant. Makes it simpler.
- glhaynes 16y agoSounds like they may be headed that way with Lion, too - what's seen so far doesn't have the little lights under dock icons that indicate whether the application is actually "open" or not.
- Xuzz 16y agoInteresting; I hadn't heard that. I feel this trend is good for the future: less things to manage is less that a user can do wrong.
