    I didn't like the move they[MS] have taken with apps closing. :death:
    P.S. My personal opinion

    Not something new, the same Metro app closing technique has been around since the Preview.

    alt+F4 is good enough for me, if I ever have an app running (rarely)

    ALT + F4 is a very simple way to close'em totally but it is ok to simply slide them down like on W8. When pulled down, they don't use any resources

    I think that the ideal is to close one by one.

    Maybe this tweak to speed up applications you interested.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Serialize]
"StartupDelayInMSec"=dword:00000000

    It may be better to remove them from the start screen, so you won't hit them accidentally when trying to start a desktop application. If it's not running, you don't need to close it.
