Which OS does this? Windows has it for Run..., but not for Shut Down. But Run can do many things. Run a program, open a document, open an URL. It's kind of hard to make space for it all.

Elipses (...) are also used in menu items when clicking on the item will result in some sort of dialog box before any real action is actually taken.
So if clicking the 'Turn Off Computer' were to result in a prompt giving (for example) the option of Turning Off or Cancelling, then it should be written 'Turn Off Computer...'. But if clicking it immediately initiates the shutdown process then it should have no '...'. The dots just gives the user a subtle hint that there will be more required to perform the action after clicking the item.
