When you buy a computer should you receive the operating system disk with your purchase?

"Should" in this case is actually different from whether or not you actually "do." Many OEMs no longer include a recovery disc with their products, especially laptops. Instead, a special partition is placed on the hard drive and is selected by pressing a certain key during bootup.
Personally, I feel that OEMs should include a disc, unless the system in question doesn't include a CD/DVD drive, since the hard drive may need replaced out of warranty and then the user would have no way to reinstall the operating system except to purchase a full retail copy, or order one from the retailer.
