What is a recovery disk differs among name brand companies. With Dell, it has
generally been a full Windows install CD coded to allow product activation when
installed on a system with a Dell BIOS. With other companies, it is a Ghost
restore image... Ben Myers

Microsoft Quietly Lets Vista Users Revert to XP
Hate Vista? If your PC is running Microsoft Windows Vista Business or
Windows Ultimate and you're fed up with the OS you may be able to ditch
Vista for XP Pro. Microsoft is quietly allowing you to downgrade to
Windows XP Pro. Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Lenovo are just a few of the
system manufacturers offering downgrades. Each of these PC makers offer
an XP Pro recovery disc to those who request one that can be used to
revert a Vista machine to XP Pro. Dell, HP, and Lenovo customers can
request a Windows XP Pro recovery disc to be included with their
purchase of a Vista machine - should they want to revert in the future.
Customers who already have purchased a Vista-PC can request an XP Pro
recovery CD for between $15 to $20 by calling technical support.

OK, probably stupid question: what do they mean by "recovery disk"?
Is it different than a new install disk, and if so what makes it
different?
