At $WORK, I probably burn 20 CDs in a given month, sometimes several times that, if I'm doing updates. Making a new CD every 6 months somehow doesn't concern me, and as cheap as CDs are, I don't think this is something that hurts users. Instead of trying to make arguments against those who use CDs, why not keep what already works maintained? The level of effort required here is surprisingly small, testing installation from a physical CD takes, with a SATA II connection to a hard drive, approximately 25 minutes, and only ~2 minutes of that require user interaction. Actually less, if using default options. From there, the only requirement is clicking "Reboot" and waiting for the installed system to boot. At most, in addition, it'd require logging in with the user you've set up. That's less than an hour total, and it only needs to be done after automated tests with virtual CDs pass. -- John M.
