As I understand it, unless you buy a custom built computer from a local source, you will not receive a full OS cd from ANY of the big builders (Thanks to Uncle Bill ). Those that try to get any sort of disk can only get the restore or repair disks. Of course, you could go out and buy a new CD with a different Activation code, etc, but you run the risk of not having the special drivers that these big builders seem to put on their versions so that they won't work on anything else and nothing else will work on their machines.
