It worked on the Thinkpad I bought a few weeks ago... I think most machines are configured to boot from the optical drive first. Even if there is a boot menu, that is still much less scary than having to hunt through a series of menus to find and change an obscure setting.
As we in this community are probably all aware, even small obstacles like having to enter a name or type a credit card number can drastically reduce conversion rates on the web. I think this is a reasonable analogue. Even objectively small obstacles can be important.
