JDN -- No matter which OEM you call ask if you will receive a back up Windows CD. The May 1 issue of InfoWorld states MSFT has decided to no longer supply a CD. You may not notice you do not have one until you need it and find a "recovery disk or cd". If you do not have the files how do you reload? MSFT supposedly is not telling that to the public but is leaving it to the OEMs and also leaving it up to them just how you are to reload if you have a serious problem. Supposedly that is supposed to limit piracy. Looks more like a reason to start thinking of Linux as the only systems to come with a CD are those for servers...
