Mike, >>opportunity to burn a "recovery disc" DVD.
Wow. I think I'd make sure not to buy a computer that has those stipulations. Sounds like they are charging you an arm and a leg for something you aren't getting. Without the disks if you change the configuration of your machine significantly by adding hardware accelerated graphics hardware or add a Raid array for example you might not be able to load your OS. With a laptop you might not really run into that problem but with desktops... I have recovery disks for my laptop, I'll have to try to load them on a VM. That would be interesting. Have you ever tried it?
