All the HP machines we've ordered at work lately have come with restore DVD/CD, and it's also been possible to downgrade to XP Pro without getting all the crap at the same time. I can't remember the model number, but it's a microtower PC.
I don't count business builds in this. Most of those that I've seen either come with the restore discs or they were ordered to. You can also order any number of Dells from their business side and get XP Pro downgrades.
I was talking about the home user, who is bombarded with preinstalled software and left to hang when their hard disk fails, having to wait for a recovery disc to be shipped to them.
