Technologically speaking, of course, this something even lesser than
triviality. But the key point is, I can show this to a Windows user,
and tell him/her that: I can shut down a Linux machine by
double-clicking an icon, can you do that in Windows?
(Typically you turn off your machine when you are ready to leave. In
order to beat the traffic--has anyone ever had to drive through H1
during rush hours? every second counts.)
