In Short, A Lot.
ReactOS needs a proper shutdown and restart sequence (Like Linux does, when it sends TERM to all processes). Log Off is a tad harder.
In order for Log Off to work properly, all the core processes need to be kept running (csrss, winlogon, etc), and the system needs to "Fall back" to a login screen. To do this, a User Logon System must be implemented, complete with per-user registry files, settings storage, and all the associated functions therein. AFAIK.

No, the Shutdown/Restart and Log Off portions are in need of a re-write, AFAIK. Since Local User Accounts are not implemented yet, we cannot "Log Off" per se on ReactOS just yet.
Ok, what needs doing to implement this properly? I'd like to help if I can.

I like that comparison, be like or better than Linux w X. Yes, one of my wishes is to compile Ros and play music and play Condition Zero or Counter Strike all at the same time. Before it was Quake I or II, still I can play Quake I and compile Ros. Currently I can compile Ros, play Quake I and music with Linux running in X. Ahh, can not wait!
Thanks, James

I worked on this about a year ago (notifying processes about the impending doom and killing them), I still have it in my local tree. Will try to clean it up and commit this week.

That'd be much appreciated, GvG.
Upgrade simply means only copying over actual files, and leaving autogenerated ones in place. Windows Upgrade copys over all files, and reinstalls Drivers, Start Menu items, and System Services. All other registry-based settings, such as Wallpaper, etc, are kept, since the registry isn't usually touched, unless upgrading from a prior windows version.
