   Killing doesn't allow a process to terminate gracefully.  Buffers may =
not be flushed.  Other processes with which it communicates may not get =
appropriate notice.  When you select end task from the applications tab =
it will send the app the appropriate notice for a graceful shutdown.  If =
you terminate the process from the processes tab you get an ungraceful =
termination.  NET STOP sends the graceful notice appropriate for =
services.

  I would guess net stop works fine for a test case, but usually I only =
kill processes that are hung and not responding, in those cases net stop =
is probably too polite.

  Why would you not just kill a process?

       I would do neither.  Have you tried "net stop spooler"?
