I hate machines that do that. They often end up trying to break your
CD that you are in the middle of lifting out of the tray. Serious design
error.

Not sure how you can really manage a VM without access to its console
and settings.

You can often blank it enough before starting an install if necesary.

Sure. Well maybe someone will add it. As a user I personally have
never missed it of course, but I can see how in a few cases it might
have been nice. Of course you have to get the CD out somehow at some
point or it will boot to CD again next time you reboot. Not a long term
solution for a user either way.
