I can't remember if there's a built-in Windows OS solution, but I've redefined the "Quit..." keyboard shortcut within OS X on many apps for just this reason. To do this...
- In OS X (Snow Leopard in this example) open System Preferences > Keyboard and click the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab.
- At the bottom of the list on the left-hand side, select "Application Shortcuts."
- Click the "+" button, and choose the desired target application from the pop-up (I'll select "Google Chrome.app" for this example).
- In the Menu Title field, enter the *exact* name of the menuItem you want to modify. In this case it's "Quit Google Chrome" (no quotes).
- Activate the Keyboard Shortcut field, and type the key combo you'd like to use instead of or in place of the default (e.g. "Option-Q").
- Click "Add"
Now open Chrome browser and select the application menu ("Chrome" in this case) and you'll see the last entry "Quit Google Chrome" now shows the Option-Q shortcut.
On some apps (like Final Cut) I remapped the Cmd-Q keystroke to the "Save All" menuItem - thereby saving me not only the frustration of Premature Quitapplication, but tossing in a "save-every-damn-thing-now" for good measure.
