You must work in a big corporation, small businesses often don't have common hardware, so imaging and sysprep for each individual PC is not going to be faster then using a floppy.
The Floppy isn't going to die until WinXP is no longer the most installed OS in business environments, and Server 2003 is no longer used.
It is still the only supported method to inject drivers into the install process, and many SATA and RAID controllers do not have native drivers on the CD because the OS is so old.
Once XP & 2003 is gone the floppy will go with it.
Actually I had the exact same problem a few months ago upgrading a Dell server from Win2003 x86 to Win2008 x64, I suspected the CPU from the beginning, but I spent a few hours before the Dell Tech agreed with me. They sent a replacement and it worked like a champ.
This proves it has happened to a production Intel Core2Duo CPU at least once, I can't believe I was the only one.
Do such platforms exist? Is there a smartphone that allows you to download and install random staff from the Internet as a PC does? Or are all of them basically just mobile storefronts to the manufacturer's shop?
The blackberry platform is still open to installing any applications you want, or ones you build yourself. They have an App store, but it is optional and many apps are downloaded direct from the developer still.
I hate to comment on my own post, but I just found out that another service window for the VLSC site was planned on the 12th, it actually states that in the second link I posted below. Anyone in IT will tell you a weekend outage lasting into Monday morning is not a basis for front page news.
eOpen was closed on december 6th and replaced by VLSC (Volume Licensing Service Center) at the following link: https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/servicecenter/home.aspx
Morte info can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/existing-customers/manage-my-agreements.aspx
The VLSC site also appears to be down now, but maybe the swap is taking longer then planned or they are working out a bug on the week old site.
Not saying Microsoft doesn't screw up, but lets get all the facts, eOpen is closed for good and has been replaced.

And yes it works with free version too.
Yes I use it every day and have at least 200 computers on it, I use it to support my IT Management firms clients.
I did some research because I'm willing to be proven wrong and I figured out deployment links is part of LogMeIn Central, an add-on product I purchased when they got rid of groups for the free product. (keeping clients separated was a nightmare after that) It's not free but nowhere near the cost of LogMeIn Rescue, and cheap enough it may be worth it to some people.
Installing the free version on every machine you want to support is a pain, especially if you have to talk somebody else through it over the phone.
That's why you just create a deployment link and E-mail it to them.
I agree with another poster though, my first thought is "he described it perfectly then named everything BUT logmein.com, is this an ad in disguise?
Sounds like you opted for the minimal install version
Scary how this got modded as Insightful and not just Funny!
It is in the works... and looking for volunteers to help build it:
Actually a new organization is currently being developed for just such a purpose: http://itvolunteersworldwide.org/
Currently there is a LinkedIn group http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1181337 you can go to for more info.
