I think bootable CD is not a good idea for a security measure simply because it's not convenient. Say, here is a CD for Bank A, and here is another CD for Bank B, and ... where is my CD for local e-government? As you know there are several embedded versions of Microsoft Windows, and good old bootable Windows Emergency Floppy. It's quite easy for Microsoft to release bootable Windows CD, but they didn't. They might feel it's not practical, I suppose.
