In the Microsoft Script Center you can download a powershell script to create a Shutdown/Restart/Logoff tile for the Start menu in Windows 8. This is so cool!! 🙂 It’s also very easy to use when you connect to an Windows 8 machine through the Remote Desktop Protocol, you’re now able to shutdown this host remotely!
