It's called a hard boot. The phone doesn't shut down properly when you hard boot it. I don't care who makes the operating system, if it has a GUI, it's never a good thing to hard boot the OS.

I realize it's necessary to do it from time to time, when it freezes, but it's not a good idea to just do it for the sake of doing it. It's even less of a good idea to do it when you think you're just taking a screen shot. Unless, of course, you happen to like the possibility of having to restore the OS.
