Clicking close on a program asks the program to nicely clean up what it’s doing and remove itself from memory (RAM).
If something happens and the program gets hung up on something, using task manager to force it closed is like asking security to grab the program and toss it onto the street, then going to where they were working and cleaning up.
Funny thing is, Windows’ kill task is much friendlier than Unix’s. Forcing a program closed in Unix is akin to murdering the program and throwing its things out onto the curbside.
