11:40AM Q: How do you close applications when multitasking? A: (Scott) You don't have to. The user just uses things and doesn't ever have to worry about it. (Steve) It's like we said on the iPad, if you see a stylus, they blew it. In multitasking, if you see a task manager... they blew it. Users shouldn't ever have to think about it.

Another lame part in bold; it's like saying those devices failed, but in fact, those are NICE TO HAVE features, not blew. It's blew when they don't have it and have to cover up by saying another.

User shouldn't have to think about Task Manager. Alright, but doesn't mean they shouldn't have it. It's a feature that is nice to have. Besides, the way they put it, it's like their device is only meant for "dumb" users who don't know what is task manager and how to use it.

In a sense, they're just trying to control as much as possible and also for those features they're missing or lack of, they have their way with the words; but to more advance users, those are rubbish excuses.
What if Windows does not provide Task Manager? Usually, the admin might disable the Task Manager to some users. So, to Apple,... their customer is those type of users?
