Theoretically, there could be (depends on the software) - some of its |
| 8 |
files could disappear, but the worst thing I can imagine is a crash of |
| 9 |
the program. |

Anyway, I did not notice any such problem and I do update while the |
| 12 |
computer is in use. It may be caused by the fact that the program is |
| 13 |
replaced quite fast - the only dangerous time could be when the new one |
| 14 |
is copied from sandbox to the real system. |

As for it - I would not dare it on a mission critical server, but |
| 17 |
anywhere else yes. |
