Just in case: you know that Windows 8 does not really shutdown by default,
but merely suspends to provide a faster "user experience"? So the result
returned by GetTickCount will not be what you might expect.
Also on Unix systems it won't work as GetTickCount is linked up with a
date/time based function there.

Sven
