Finally! The official word from Microsoft on why the “close” button in Windows Mobile works (or doesn’t) the way it does.
I’ve done blog entries on compaction threads, memory consumption, difficulties in doing upgrades, voice command not working over bluetooth, and 240×240 screens. Now I’m going to do one on why the little “X” button on PocketPCs doesn’t close apps. Am I insane? Do I like having you people kick me around? Well, maybe “yes” on the former, but definitely “no” on the latter. That said, someone needs to explain why we do the things we do, and that someone might as well be me.
So why is it that there’s no easy way to actually close apps on Windows Mobile devices? Sharpen your pitchforks, collect your torches, sit back, and I’ll tell you.
