Actually changing to  "restart your XO" will be more confusing.   
People out in G1G1 world talk about restarting Sugar and rebooting  
the XO.
Slavishly following the confusing Windows UI is foolishness. In  
Windows you have to go to Start menu to shutdown! Where is the sense  
in that.
By the way I think you will find more systems in the world running  
S40 than the so called most popular OS  in the world.
