VMWare Fusion: How to shutdown Windows when it is hung

I have been running VMWare Fusion with Windows XP as my guest OS for some time. The other day, Windows XP while shutting, just hung as it seems to do from time to time on regular PC-based installed. I spent 2-days, waiting for it to complete. I even used the:


VMware Fusion menu bar > Virtual Machine > select Power Off


But it seem by using:


VMware Fusion menu bar > Virtual Machine > press the option key and select Power Off


It is the equivalent of pulling the plug out of the wall and it worked. Hope this will help someone out as it did me.
