    It usually does warn you by putting a little icon next to Shutdown in the menu. I think it's a shield but it's been a while since I've used Windows.

    I think the idea is that if you want to do a task, you Start at the menu, even if it's to stop doing tasks. Of course, now it's where you Start raping your eyeballs with giant colored rectangles.
