I always advise my friends and customers to keep a copy of the Linux Live CD. The reason is that in the event that your Windows crashes (Well, they often do), you can boot up the Linux Live CD and rescue all your data.

Anyway, throwing logic aside, shutting down Windows has always been a lengthy process. You need to press Start -> Shut down, then choose Shut Down from the popup window. In Vista, you have to navigate to the small arrow at the bottom right of the Start menu and select Shut Down.
