That's fine, if you don't have anything important to do.
I have customers, some of whom could lose tens of thousands of 
dollars if Windows crashes on them at the wrong time (is there ever 
a right time?)  If the last backup was made 1 hour ago, then everybody 
in the shop has to do that hour's work all over again. Even if they don't 
lose any data, there's the non-productive time spent rebooting and 
trying to get back onto the network.

I'm converting as many as possible to Linux.
