If anything, they're ahead of the curve. Most Apple apps are beginning to follow this behavior: App Store, Calculator, Contacts, Dictionary, DVD Player, FaceTime, Font Book, Game Center, Garage Band, Image Capture, iPhoto, and so on.

Not in the new Apple way. I believe the idea is that they'll save their state but close.
Right, but does opening more than one window for a single application count? Two chrome windows for instance.
