...if you shut off your computer.... you shut off windows along with it. Explain to me how you would shut down vista after your computer is off. That's a question worth asking on this site.
The answer is almost as interesting as the question.
The simple answer is 'NO', shut down Windows (whichever version) first, when it has shut down properly and it is safe to do so it will normally turn the computer off for you.
Just turning your computer off with the switch can cause your hard drive to loose data - which you probably do not want. However if Windows has hung and will not respond to any typing, clicking etc you may have no choice but to do this anyway and just hope nothing goes badly wrong.
