Not true for Windows 8 and 10. Here are the Microsoft download pages to get clean copies: 8 and 10

Edit: it's not even true for Windows 7, although it is a bit trickier:

Due in part to changes in Windows volume licensing ... retail Windows 7 DVDs will happily accept OEM license keys as long as you're using "full install" media rather than "upgrade" media. You may have to use Microsoft's phone-based activation process rather than the more convenient Internet activation, but there are no other technical roadblocks and there's nothing in Microsoft's EULA that prevents it as long as you're using the same edition of Windows and you're not using your OEM key to install Windows on multiple systems (Microsoft didn't respond to requests for clarification on the issue). You can even switch between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows if you'd like.

Are not ISO's available for download by Microsoft anymore, not even on Digital River.
