Yeah, it will create restore CDs. Restore CDs are often not what you want, however :)
Very true, however microsoft is changing the OEM rules to make it so OEM's can't give out non-restore type disks, to lessen the possiblity that the disks will be used to install illegal copies of the software. It's not necessarilly IBM/Dell/etc's fault that they are doing restore disks only.
<whimsical old person>I remember when I got my first OEM computer it came with install disks for each and every piece of software that was installed on the machine. A windows 95 disk, a Microsoft Bob disk, a Myst Disk, a disk for everything! None of this restore disk that doesn't even put everything back onto the system no sir'ee!
*cough* er... sorry.
