I guess it relates to users being more productive rather then waiting for boot up and update lag as you would with shutting down every night.
Not very "green" of you :p

No seriously if you got money to burn (shrug).

One other thing I forgot to mention is that depending on what part of the country you live in leaving your maching on while away at work or whatever can lead to heartbreak.

Here is the southeast US we have lightning storms on a daily basis. Im assuming being a buisness your behind some solid surge protection and also have back up power. The typical home 'player' is not. They may have surge protection but trust me the ulitimate surge protector is the power switch.
