Then your XP clients will have to learn to use task manager

They aren't XP and the app is not closing 'fine' in the others anyway; you
aren't doing proper cleanup which means that any files, databases and other
resources that your app allocated are potentially not getting updated
properly. It's just that any potential mess left is being masked by the
apparent ending of the application.

No, it's more like
'I don't want to take the time to code my app properly'
Solution: Live with whatever you get

I don't mean to sound glib but you can't have it both ways. Either you
handle the errors yourself (either by testing for the conditions and
preventing them or catching them and shutting down properly) or you let the
system handle it for you and have to deal with different OS versions being
just that, different.
