What about the ability to long press the power button for a hard power off or press the reset button remotely?

You could get a pointing stick to do that.

If you're in the OS, both of those solutions are easy. The machine can be in a suspended or powered off state. Presumably you could WoL it, remote in, then do whatever you wish.

A remote shutdown sounds like a return of Back Orifice.

Wow

So hard power off = shutdown, reset = restart?
