He's blaming the wrong party. He should be upset with Dell, for

Not to mention that he should have asked about recovery methods and
installation media included *before* making the purchasing decision.
So he also has himself to blame.

In theory you're right, but nonetheless I disagree. Most people buy a
computer only every few years. Last time the OP bought a computer may
well have been before this nonsense started. I'm more sophisticated
about these matters than average, but I was caught flat-footed when I
bought my Acer 15 months ago to replace my Win 98 machine. I can
therefore understand how a more naive user might not know to ask
about this in advance.
