Yeah, well most of your ordinary local repair shops are going to want to test 
the system, and they would most likely boot it into whatever is on the hard 
drive. Thus the tech is going to pretty much immediately be stumped. Maybe 
nowadays things are different, but any time I was a PC tech I sure HATED it 
when the clients system was something stupid I couldn't at least bring up 
once and verify it worked.
