Why Logoff?

Lets say I'm running Agent newsreader, and downloading a very large binary file. If I logoff windows 2003, does agent still run in the background or does logoff kill everything running. And if it does, why bother to even logoff a system. Seems like if I were running a large corporation, and using windows 2003, I would be able to logoff without killing any programs running?

When you log off only the services that are set to automatic run example dhcp, and if you log off the administrator or user who was on the server, and a workstation still wants to go on the domain you can still log on because the server is still on.
