What version of Windows are you using?!

Win-XP:
Close all the windows and from the desktop press "alt-f4", this will bring up "Turn off Computer", select "Turn Off". What happens then?!

Vista:
Close all the windows and from the desktop press "alt -f4", this will bring "shutdown windows", make sure it says "shutdown" and click "OK". What happens then?!
