There is actually a law being pushed in Congress that makes spyware and malware illegal.

You don't always get the CD if its pre-loaded. The equivalent of the XP cd is stored on a seperate partition on the hard drive. When you reformat a preloaded system it scrubs everything else, just as a reformat normally would but then when you start the machine back up it there's an option to automatically reinstall windows. It copies all the files it needs from this partition and you then have a freshly installed copy of Windows XP on a clean computer.
