    6     <p> When you click the <b outputclass="bold">Close</b> button of your virtual machine window, at
    7       the top right of the window, just like you would close any other window on your system, <ph
    8         conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> asks you whether you want to save or power
    9       off the VM. As a shortcut, you can also press <b outputclass="bold">Host key + Q</b>. </p>

    33             When you start the VM again later, you will find that the VM
    34             continues exactly where it was left off. All your programs
    35             will still be open, and your computer resumes operation.
    36             Saving the state of a virtual machine is thus in some ways
    37             similar to suspending a laptop computer by closing its lid.

    55               This is equivalent to pulling the power plug on a real
    56               computer without shutting it down properly. If you start
    57               the machine again after powering it off, your OS will have
    58               to reboot completely and may begin a lengthy check of its
    59               virtual system disks. As a result, this should not
    60               normally be done, since it can potentially cause data loss
    61               or an inconsistent state of the guest system on disk.

    65             As an exception, if your virtual machine has any snapshots,
    66             see <xref href="snapshots.dita#snapshots"/>, you can use this option to
    67             quickly <b outputclass="bold">restore the current
    68             snapshot</b> of the virtual machine. In that case,
    69             powering off the machine will discard the current state and
    70             any changes made since the previous snapshot was taken will
    71             be lost.
