Well, it's one less thing (DHCP) to go wrong.  How about the geeky ones
that decide to just nab a DHCP address and set it as a static?  Still a
pain in the ass.  And know where I've seen that happen the most?  Linux
users that would boot into windows, figure out an address, reboot into
Linux and set it cause they couldn't get DHCP to work under linux.

Ouch
