Does Swiping Close Applications?

[ItalianDroid]

It seems that I can't find the correct answer anywhere.

When you open your active applications, does swiping them away close the application or just remove them from the list?

Thanks,

Here is a good thread on XDA about multi-tasking and the "swipe to close" action seen. Tons of discussion over there.
