Clearly you were never a system builder or enthusiast, just
a paid shill for micoshaft doing the asstroturfing rounds.

I was both an enthusiast and system builder and the highest
priority is getting the systems to boot up with something
before installing anything.

In the bad old days anything was something.
But now you got DSL LiveCD, Knoppix LiveCD, SystemRescue
LiveCD, GParted and many others that are just superb
at booting a PC. Many motherboards also boot Linux off USB sticks
if the features were available in the BIOS.

Strawman argument applied by one huge asstroturfer WINDUMMY without
knowledge of the real world.

10p is in the post.

May be you should enroll in a Motherboard course at your local
training center before opening your asstroturfing mouth.

After all, they can either believe in a spliffing asstroturfer
shilling for Micoshaft Crocporation like you, or believe
in the benefits of a free LiveCD.
