body: <p>What is the difference between killing an application using the close button and ending the process from the Task Manager?</p>
  
  <p>I am aware of the fact that hitting the close button posts a <code>WM_CLOSE</code> message in the message queue, but I don't know what happens when we kill a process from Task Manager (or any similar application like Killbox or Process Explorer).</p>
