Don't you have (a) burn a CD, and (b) _stop_ running your current 
OS/apps to boot a live image, plus not being able to update them and 
save files conveniently?  All of those are good reasons not to bother. 
And will the live image even run on an Intel Mac?

I suppose you could run a CD live image inside of a bare VMware instance 
but you'd take a double hit or worse on performance plus wasting the 
time and plastic to burn the image.
