It matters somewhat.
I'd much rather get it from a trusted source than a random site.

After all - it would be easy enough to change some things on the Windows XP
installation CD so that - to an untrained eye - nothing looked different but
suddenly - your computer periodically sends me your keystrokes, emails me
your SAM, etc.

Just like prescription drugs - just because you have a prescription doesn't
mean you are 'safe' getting the actual drugs from anywhere.
