[QUOTE="J.Fo, post: 779510, member: 66834"] Some applications do shut down after you close the last window. System Preferences, iPhoto, the calculator, and any app that will only display one window at a time will do it the Windows way. Give it time, and I think you'll see some advantages to being able to close the windows without quitting the application. You can continue to have some apps run processes in the background while you do other things. If you want to bring the window for that particular app back up, just click the icon in the dock and it's there for you. If you want a fast and easy way to close all the apps you don't want to have open, I suggest hitting Command-Tab to bring up the mini-dock in the middle of the screen (similar to Alt-Tab on Windows), highlight the program you want to close and hit Command-Q. I find this works really well and I can quit the applications I don't need in a matter of seconds. [/QUOTE]
