Kind of like a panic button for when your network is overrun with a virus and you just want something working safely.... I suspect it is too complex to do well enough due to diverse hardware, and diverse BIOS/Boot software....
Or in an org. with offices all over Devon - as is the case with the lot wifey is working for - they don't even have a central server - email is the file transfer mechanism of choice.. (no, don't get me started... I haven't even whigned at them about backups yet - fortunately my wife is sensible)
