Theoretically, there could be (depends on the software) - some of its files could disappear, but the worst thing I can imagine is a crash of the program. Anyway, I did not notice any such problem and I do update while the computer is in use. It may be caused by the fact that the program is replaced quite fast - the only dangerous time could be when the new one is copied from sandbox to the real system. As for it - I would not dare it on a mission critical server, but anywhere else yes. -- This message has optimized support for formating.
