Um, sure, maybe in the 90s. But now a days the power button is a "soft" button that sends a signal to the OS to shutdown. Although, I think most people use Start -> Shutdown rather than flip the power or shut it off.
Also, you can use the power management to determine if the power button does a sleep, hibernate or shutdown... at least on Windows and Mac. I don't know about Linux.
