Some distros assume a "hard core" user who already knows he/she wants to 
install Linux and has no need of a test drive.  Or is going to do unattended 
automated bulk installs or something like that.  RHEL is like that, and thus 
the "live" ISO is not something that partular customer base has any interest 
in.
