> The only people who would need such a service are people who are completely technologically illiterate and only know of the Firefox brand, and those people may not be informed enough to know that it's free.
Not really, I can think of a use case where an office has a policy that requires everyone to be using Firefox. Now, say they need to buy a hundred new PCs from Dell. Wouldn't it be time consuming and costly to install Firefox on each PC one by one? In this case, paying for this service could make sense.
I use to work for a small OEM that primarily serviced local (quarter of the state or so) school districts and small businesses. Often the customers would request that we flash the computers with an image that they provided. Basically meant that we could go to the school in the evening, install the computers in all the different computer labs, and the next morning those computers would boot and be ready to go.
Obviously there was a good deal of trust required there, but for organizations with moderately sized computer orders (10 to 300 typically) but small IT staffs, it made a lot of sense. Larger schools typically requested the machines with clean images which would be promptly wiped by their staff.
