Does buying an alternative launcher make your phone not "stock"?

I got tired off laggy, boring touchwiz so i bought ADW app launcher from the Market. Does this mean my phone is rooted or is it still stock?

It is still stock and is not rooted. The only thing that is different is the launcher you are using...on your non rooted stock ROM. My apologies for the very basic "non techy" answer.

Android is meant to be customized - launcher, keyboard, dialer, etc. I think most people's opinion of not being "stock" is rooting and installing a custom ROM.
