The Inspector Window is different and I believe it is a holdover from the NeXT era. IIRC in the OS X beta releases, the Inspector was present but Get Info windows had yet to appear. The diffrence is that you can have as many get info windows open at one time as you want. There is only one Inspector window and it's contents change as you select different items in the finder. Contrary to the article, the Inspector window does not close unless you tell it to by either clicking on the red close button or by pressing the usual window closing key combination, Cmd-W, when it is the active window. Even clicking the Desktop doesn't make it close. Instead, it gives you information about the Desktop. Tom and Daniel, what you two are talking about are Get Info windows.
