Yea, but then I'd have to log back into the machine after the reboot and startup XBMC. Anyway to solve this by scheduling a reboot?

I thought it went without saying you would then need to set it up to automatically login to XBMC
I just googled this, not sure how well it would work: http://cybernetnews.com/xbmc-run-boot-xbmc-startup-windows-8/

run netplwiz, uncheck the box "users must enter password" and apply, move xbmc shortcut to startup folder in start menu
Awesome. I'll give this a shot!

Awesome! Thanks for all the tips fellas! I now have my machine set to reboot every morning at 5am and automagically load XBMC without needing to login to the machine. This is also super helpful for when I remote into the machine as well. I can simply reboot when I exit and XBMC will be sitting there ready for use!
