Installation disc of Windows 7 for the new portable Sony computer

Hello

My question:

Microsoft really not allow Sony ship floppy disks to install Windows 7 with their laptops?

Background:

I just bought a new laptop Sony VAIO with Windows 7 preinstalled. To my surprise, it came with no recovery media either. I asked Sony to send them to me, but they say that they are not going and that I should create a recovery disk myself, that I can use to restore the hard drive to its State at the time of its creation. Simply restore the disk image, however, will not work for my purposes. I will need to do a good reinstall of Windows 7. I asked them for an installation disc, but they claim that Microsoft allowed them to send floppy disks to install Windows 7 with their products.

Thank you.

Its possible that Microsoft could have different license agreements and contract with different OEM. In the case of the recovery disc creation, most brand manufacturers do. Restore the factory image should not be a problem, unless it's the bundled software preset that you do not want to restore whenever you decide to reinstall. In this case, you can customize your configuration and create a system backup with recovery disc image, you can restore your self:

UPDATE:

For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. ISO file which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options?
