Did you know that it impossible to directly[1] reboot a Windows machine from the command line?
In a "stock" windows setup that's true; however, you can address the problem fairly easily by downloading psshutdown from www.sysinternals.com. While you're there, you'll probably find that you also want pslist, pskill and a few others that I don't remember offhand.
Again, to be fair, Windows XP /can/ be shut down / rebooted from the command line. there is a command called shutdown that does this. It will also shut down / reboot a remote machine if you have the privilege. There are also commands to list processes and kill them etc. Win2K didn't have these commands (I don't think).
Oh, yes, and the BSOD screen saver (not that the genuine BSOD isn't already the screen saver, but this one won't make you reboot :)
