John,
I've always had a problem with the terminology surrounding ODBC.
In this case, why is it called "DSN-less? (it looks DSN-full to me).

In any case, you will not be tied to a specific client-machine setup issue. For example, if somebody decides to monkey around with the DSN settings on the machine, your app won't break if the DSN is removed.
