HTC adds Close Button to Devices "This change will apparently be effective in AKU3.2 and later devices. Users can choose to enable the close feature and have it closed either by a tap or a tap-and-hold. Microsoft has maintained for years that users simply don't need to close applications. They really don't want to, they just want the application to go away, and so MS has refused to enable the close feature short going through the 7 tap process via the Memory control panel icon and close it there. Microsoft insists that the operating system's memory management is sufficient to manage what applications remain open given the devices resources. Many users maintain this isn't good enough as they watch their devices slow to an absolute crawl as low memory situations come up because too many applications are open and the device isn't doing much about it, or worse, the wrong application gets shut down as it is not always a least-recently-used-app-gets-closed decision."
