[QUOTE="FrayAdjacent, post: 660190, member: 52404"] I'd consider the X button on an application window as the 'minimize' button. The application still runs. Command + Q will close the application entirely. However, the RAM that the application used is not cleared. OSX uses it's memory very actively, leaving pages in memory resulting in much faster reopening times for applications that you've used. Knowing this, it's better to sleep your Mac than it is to shut it down completely. [/QUOTE]
