What about a switch that looks like a switch that has a
green light while it's running, and if "switched" turns
"yellow" as the servers are shut down, and then red before
the machine goes off. A thought: it could also be used for
another user to log on, so maybe if you click it "off", then
"on" again, it would log the current user out and a new one
in. Does that make any sense?

On that note, I'd like you to think about features that take
into account stuff like keyboard controlled functionality,
ie. power on/off buttons, etc., because the OS itself cannot
be separated from the devices that drive it, and we should
think about those because that could (in the future) mean
additional revenue channels.
