It's an operation that must always succeed, or the OS is broken. There are several use cases where a timely, user-intervention-free shutdown is critical to the correct functioning of an operating system. Why should I wait and watch what should be an automatic, guaranteed to succeed operation? No user-mode application should ever be able to interrupt a critical kernel-mode operation like 'shutdown'. Why is his requirement unrealistic? I'm a computer professional, I love computers, and I fully agree with the original poster. Sounds like you hate computers in general and have likely chosen the wrong profession. It literally expects me to sit there for up to five minutes while it 'saves my settings' and stops all the processes to ensure the bloody thing turns itself off.
One of the reasons I hate Windows so much is that I can't even rely on the piece of crap OS to shut down if I tell it to shut down and then walk away.
