Have you ever left your house with your computer running, only to wish that you were able to shut it down either via a timer or remotely? If you're running a Linux OS, chances are good that you're also running SSH. In that case, it takes little more than a quick login from wherever you are, then you can shut down from there. For Windows, though, I don't think similar functionality exists right out of the box.

You can shut down or reboot windows machines remotely through the RDC. It is also possible to configure Windows to shutdown at a specific time, or after the machine finished a task and went idle. :)
