I know some of them try to be a lot fancier than others when you tell it to make a window disappear. As a quick sidenote: I've found that leaving open the programs I use most frequently is a nice way of saving the time it takes for the program to load. It's made OpenOffice much more tolerable on my 1Ghz machine. Then again, I leave my machine running all the time (155 days currently), so YMMV.
