I always assumed there's another reason why Task Manager offers up "End Task" and not "kill Task". Simply because "kill" implies the instant, violent termination of a unresponsive program. "end" implies a passive, "we'll get to that when we're ready" line of thought. My experience with task manager has been that almost nothing happens for a while and i'm left staring at a blank screen, wondering why my computer isn't interested in my input.
