Looking at one of the demos you can pin applications to the task bar, so
when you want to go back to your document you simply click on it, and
the file + application is immediatly available,

quite how this is different to say loading something from the recent
files folder i am not sure,  if things run in the background they are
taking up memory,

not sure,  it worked on the video of the demo,  but I am unsure as to
the specs of the demo comptuer used in the video.
