'Machine-Close-Power off' means ""Kill VM' (forced) without regard for a Guest; but the ""Power off"" in its name often makes a user believe that there is ""Poweroff"" (orderly shutdown, poweroff like 'poweroff') of a Guest involved as part of the process. It would be better if these menu selections were called: ""Machine-Close-Shutdown-Guest"" ""Machine-Close-Kill-Guest"" No margin for error/misunderstanding. Thanks.
