Vista Logoff/Shutdown Buttons

[Miretank]

Found it curious, not to say funny.

I'm sure there's a whole team of UI designers, programmers, and testers who worked very hard on the OFF button in Windows Vista, but seriously, is this the best you could come up with?

Every time you want to leave your computer, you have to choose between nine, count them, nine options: two icons and seven menu items. The two icons, I think, are shortcuts to menu items. I'm guessing the lock icon does the same thing as the lock menu item, but I'm not sure which menu item the on/off icon corresponds to.

Anyone with Vista noticed that? Or had the same impressions?

Yep ... I tested both Beta 1 and 2 and I noticed that .. It's pretty silly.
