Dunno. I've never been one to follow the proverbial crowd. I've only explained what has worked very well for me, especially when someone walks into my cube and claims "We need this NOW!". It doesn't take much extra space on today's hard-disks and is oh-so-convenient when the eventuality occurs. If it turns out they didn't really need it, it takes about the same amount of time to turn it off as it did to turn it on... seconds.
