We consider a hypothetical scenario in which the Higgs boson is absent, and attempt to constrain the mass scale Lambda of the new physics that would take its place. Using recent measurements of sin^2(theta_eff^lept) and M_W, we show that, in a class of theories characterized by simple conditions, the upper bound on Lambda is close to or smaller than the SM upper bound on M_H, while in the complementary class Lambda is not restricted by our considerations. The issue of fine-tuning when Lambda is large is briefly discussed. As a by-product of our considerations, we discuss the usefulness and important properties of a radiative correction, Delta r_eff, that directly links sin^2(theta_eff^lept) with alpha, G_mu, and M_Z.
