Hi this isn't true.
Dell will supply the OS CD in North America if you pay $10 but they DO NOT
offer this in the UK, and other countries I think.
As to being able to burn the disc from the hard drive, this facility was
only available for a period of about 18months or so. But as of the middle of
2005, this was stopped. The only was to reinstall windows on a new Dell
computer in the UK is to prefrom a destructive 'return to factoy' bloatware
state.
