You're right. I apologize. My choice of words could have been chosen better.
I guess in my mind I had more a less ruled out any legitimate use of these tools since we're talking about a gaming rig and not a work computer (I wasn't counting netbooks as gaming platforms so I didn't factor in a gaming PC without a DVD drive). As such I couldn't really picture any legitimate reason for having 3 different brands of virtual drive software … but that's no excuse.
