Do PC manufacturers have to include a cd of operating system if asked?

just bought HP laptop with Vista and it did not include any software cd's. The only thing i have is a restore partion on my hard drive. As a rule of thumb I like to have a copy of OS to reinstall if needed. I thought i heard that the manufacturers had to send a cd if asked, is this true?
