    I ordered my 1520 with the Windows Vista Home Premium with AERO experience, will I actually get a copy of that? Or do they just install that OS in the laptop and that's it..? Because I remember that's what happened with my old Compaq, they just install the OS and not give you the original CD. Because I would like to format the laptop as soon as I get it and reinstall Vista, to get rid off all the annoying crap. So will I actually get a CD of the OS with the license key and all that..?

    yes you will get vista oem dvd. Atleast I had received it with my 6400 a month back. There is also a restore partition on hard disk to restore os to factory settings in case of some problem.
