No. It depends who you buy it from. Each computer mfg pays varing
amount of cash to MS. At the most expensive is small stores. The sell
genuine MS OEM Disk. There is no difference to proper copies except
the company agrees to support it and it will refuse to upgrade. A
large company pays least and probably doesn't supply a disk.

But you can buy home in a retail store. Most OSs are sold OEM with
new systems.

Hi

Snip
Also to suggest the use of backup is laughable, the backup program
is not included on the standard XP installation!!!!

Are all OEM installations XP Home edition then?

Well in that case, if the OEM is Pro then backup IS installed by default (or
should be....)
