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.

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