Lastly, this computer came filled with all sorts of shit, 90% of which I don't want. Nowhere on their retail website did they make it clear that:

1) I'd be getting a computer filled with shit, and not be given any way to reinstall the OS w/o said shit.

2) They would be using a significant portion of the HD space I paid for to house this "recovery partition" farce.

3) That I would not be getting any OS media.

While you might argue that they never told me I would be getting any media, either, I think it's fairly disingenuous to "sell" me an OS and leave me with no options as to how I want to use it. On top of that, giving me 3+ days of runaround when I try to obtain the disks from them is completely unacceptable.
1) Did their site say they wouldn't preload software, just like all major computer manufacturers?

2) Gotta have some way to get the system back when somebody screws it up....gotta build it to the lowest common denominator.

3) Like you said, did they ever say you would get media?

BTW, they did not sell you an OS. They sold you a license to use an OS. Keep in mind that no one ownes a copy of Windows. You, me and every other Windows user ownes a license to use the OS but that's it.
