Maybe in theory, but it has never actually happened to me. I don't see much *nix user/sysadmin advice around the internet about how to avoid all those inevitably corrupted files, but there is plenty of evidence that Windows' strict locking causes real users real annoyance.

    Except Windows is not alone, only UNIX clones have careless file locking.
