This rumor seems more plausible as the timing with the iPad makes sense and lately the Apple rumor mill has been surprisingly accurate. There have also been many reports that Apple leaks info like this on purpose.
I'd like to see this feature implemented as an option to toggle on and off. I am going to be buying my parents an iPad, and the fact that it won't bog down like a computer is one of the biggest selling points for them. They don't have the know-how to go into a task manager and kill applications that are eating up memory. If I could just have a switch that I could flip so they wouldn't be able to have apps running in the background it would be ideal.
