This is misguided.  I'd guess that Windows process cleanup is -if
anything- more robust than .NET.  The only scenario where this really
matters is, as others have suggested, when you have multiple
AppDomains.  Of course, there's something to be said for
"correctness", especially as you don't know how this code might evolve
in the future.
