WIBN: Delayed Close
-
Today's "wouldn't it be nice" is brought to you by Outlook. Wouldn't it be nice if, when you clicked the "X" on a application, it minimized for 30 seconds (to, say, the area next to the system tray) and then closed, giving you the opportunity to cancel the close?
"F" that. The only time I click that X is when I'm shutting down to go home. You're not making me wait 30 extra seconds to hit the door!

Dave KreskowiakSo the "close bar" (where all apps that are about to close are kept) might also have an X on it, to immediately close all the apps you just requested close. Or you just let the shutdown signal cause everything to shutdown. Or you disable the close bar and let the rest of us have it! :)

Just get a 3 year old computer with 256 MB of ram. Everything will take at least 30 seconds to close then.

Computers are supposed to obey humans. Immediately. The thought of a computer waiting just in case I did not actually mean to tell it to do what I just I told it to do irks me.

Can't you just use older Microprocessors like Celeron or something and run windows vista on them with 128 KB of RAM. That will give you more than 30 seconds of delay :~

Great. Just what the world needs. A more confusing user interface...

I use a Mac, so I mean either "rm -r *" or the long sequence "Command+Backspace" and then "Command+Alt+Shift+Backspace". For obvious reasons, I prefer the former. I think the need to press "Shift+Delete" is an atrocity. Mac OS X's key sequence is even worse. Let "Delete" be the key to definitively delete a file!
