From: "Gary Britt" 

Well the lesson from that one is unplug the network connection on a
computer that needs to calculate a single project for 2 weeks without
saving its work at intermediary points.  Was this computer on a solid UPS? 
Of course I'm not saying its alright for MS to reboot somebody's computer
without their explicit permission, just saying count on stuff like that
going wrong during any kind of long unsaved process.
