They sure do, and a high percentage of the time they are worthless as are
so-called OEM system recovery disks. MSFt forces OEMs to do this instead of
ship a Vista DVD. Dell rebelled with Vista and has stopped shipping these
pieces of crap not suitable for a dog frisbee.

Scott Di Valerio is responsible for this among others who is an accountant
who works on the MSFT Redmond campus and is ironically the VP in charge of
OEM including the hardworking system builders on the street.

This is about making people spend thousands for OEM machines and denying
them the Vista Recovery tools and substituting the quite worthless recovery
discs. I've written at length about this. MSFT is afraid to discuss it and
that's why you'll never see a softie taking this up here. It's a sorepoint
for those dedicated to excellence in Vista because they know they deny
millions of their enduser customers the panopoly of Win RE tools.

Thanks to the US Congress for secretly writing an immigration bill that
their employers, the US citizens cannot read until after it's voted on.
This is the typical "mock up" of real democracy at work in the Bush
admistration and Congress. It runs on the theme--hide it from the people
until we sneak it past.

The Republican Monica, Monica Goodling who engineered firing of the US
Attorneys for the West Wing (Rove, Miers, Cheney, Kelly, complaining
Congressmen and women and Senators--who has never litigated so much as a
parking ticket and went to one of the worst law schools on the planet is
going to testify before Senate Judiciary on Wednesday 5/23/07. She is the
postergirl for Bush incompetence and lack of training, and her damage is
profoundly different than the perceived attrocity of Monica Lewinsky by the
Republicans who can't read.
