So what happens if you close a window in OSX?

Exactly what you'd expect, the window closes. But the program stays open. No, closing the window doesn't waste power, you would quit the program if you weren't doing something. It's nice to listen to music without an iTunes window open, or it's nice to let a Blender animation or a Quicktime export run without any windows open.

Ah yeah, your right about that.

But again, it would have to do with some of the programs on Windows. I can see how Itunes would be nice for a Mac, but with Windows, you could just get a program like Limewire, and drag all your music files into it's folder (or download them or whatever...) and close out of it without having to worry about a window and your music quit playing. It'd be a nice little icon in the corner.

But yeah, I would say it really just has to do with different programs with the Mac and PC. With a Mac, you'd have to get used to quiting out of a program when your done with it completely (like IE), and with a windows, you'd have to get used to not closing out of the program when your not done with it (Like Photoshop)

Ah, I see.

Limewire, slayer? Use foobar2000 for playing music, man. And get Frostwire for P2P.
