Reset and Power Off Windows XP or Vista in VMware Fusion

By default in VMware Fusion, the Virtual Machine Menu Option lists the “Soft” Power Commands and you need to hold down the Alt/Option Key to display the “Hard” Power Commands that will let you power off or reset the VMware Fusion Session, even when the VM is powered on.

Thanks to this post for such simple information but man did I have a hard time finding it at first!
