At work we use a somewhat "modified" version of WOL (though I think actually WOL is based off this). We use Compaq's Lights-Out Insight manager. It allows us to talk to the computer while it is physically powered off, bringing up a session as if we were sitting in front of it.
From there, we can power it on, etc. So yea, in some cases it is useful, but your average home user will probably not want it enabled.
