With some users, the only way to prevent malware is to boot them *only* via CD-ROM. They just will click on bad stuff no matter what.

My Vista box has expired, unable to Post nevermind boot an OS. It is down to a new Vista feature!

This is result of Winflash, having problems after erasing the BIOS, and getting frozen at 5%. Knowing not to turn off, attempted to flash again. That time a pop up appeared "No Valid Windows License found - OK" clicking resulted in machine being Powered off and immediately totally useless, with no way to recover. Result long support call with Dell, and they're having to swap the mobo!

Well designed this trusted platform & DRM.. NOT!
