I suspect that VERY few users would expect this, or encounter any issue.
I don't expect this with PC's, nor would I get it.
Instead, I use UPS's, at home and work, to protect against power failures.”

I don't expect it with a PC either as I generally don't leave it unattended for long periods of time. When I go on holiday for 2-3 weeks I don't leave my PC on, I do however leave my Freeview and Freesat PVR's on so they can perform their primary function which is to record programs.
I don't expect a powercut the day after I go on holiday to mean that 2 weeks of programs aren't recorded
