I think your point on application management is a bit weak. I have several applications/services running on Windows 7 without any visible windows present ( i.e Apache, Adobe Service Management, spotify web helper etc..). For a lot of these I had no choice if they were installed, I frankly don't even know how some of them were installed. A suspended Windows 8 app isn't much different than these and at least Win 8 apps consume zero CPU cycles while suspended.
