I don't believe it's intended to be a replacement to current installation - just an alternate option. The idea of downloading an extremely small program that, when executed, will allow you to choose from numerous different linux distributions. Then after making your selection it'll restart the computer and start the entire process for you. No removable storage required. Of course it has its downs - but it's nothing short of a great idea. Opens possibilities to people like me when I needed it - I had limited linux knowledge, no cd drive and a bios unable to boot USB. And beyond that it removes the need to download large and bloated ISOs only to burn them onto environmentally-unfriendly CDs.
Now that I think about it more, I really like the idea. Has great potential.
