 When XP came out, invariably some technical team would grow tired of
 structured permissions, high uptimes and backups and decide to host
 their files on an XP box sitting in the corner. Single drive, no
 redundant hardware or power. Then complain when it went down.

 It wasn't an XP thing -- as recently as Windows 7, I recall doing an
 office move where we were going to reconfigure the office space, move
 cubes, and have the office network down over the weekend. Someone would
 complain about their source code server running on a desktop that HAD
 TO BE UP.
