Yeah.  For me a rule of thumb for this kind of messaging is to always
ask "as opposed to what?"

If I'm a consumer and I see "Live Image" with no other context - I say
as opposed to... "dead?"  And of course, we know that isn't the case.
It is, actually, as opposed to the "older technology that just runs an
installer but not in the familiar desktop environment but may be
better for servers but we don't know exactly why and no one looks at
anymore and oh yeah it does upgrades" CD/DVD.  Oh yeah - silly me.
