Is that true even for 'corporate builds', where they update by some kind 
of disc copy?

I have had some initially hard-to-diagnose problems with templates 
shipped to a client where we discovered that the central systems people 
had installed their own special brew of Windows throughout the 
organisation, omitting things that 'nobody will need' to 'save space'. 
These things included a core font (not Symbol) and some software components.
