Who knows...

And does anybody ever use that reason thing on the windows shutdown?
I know it is used by server versions of Windows. When you request shutdown/reboot you must enter a reason, and it is logged in system logs (don't know exactly where, i guess you can find this in Event viewer). Looks like it's ignored by desktop versions (XP/7/home/whatever).
