Oh, so it is "useless" to be able to download the latest OS for a 
machine without needing any other resources to go retrieve it?

FYI, not all PCs these days still have Optical Drives to put in a boot 
disk.  Similarly, not many Users have a backup bootable OS on a USB 
thumb drive, and even for those who do, that doesn't mean that they know 
where it is ... or even that if they have it with them when traveling.
