I don't know why the app should get to decide whether it gets to be
restarted. If the goal is to give the user the option to come right back the
point where he left off, then it shouldn't be a choice. Also it is ridiculous
to worry about running malicious apps on reboot; hello--they were already
running on shutdown. ;p

No, it should restart exactly where you left it. Ya know how
it..gulp..XP, you can log another person in, and the person who was already
logged in can come right back to his login with everything up and running?
Okay, now picture doing that after rebooting. Smart idea to me.
