Slipstreaming: custom install files required for updates?

I know when an administrative install is used to deploy Office 2k3 the administrative install set is required for any future upgrades which require an install set: i.e. the original Office 2k3 CD used in making the administrative install will not suffice; it MUST be THE administrative install set
Is slipstreaming WinXP the same, or if at some point in the future my new and improved install set is obliterated, can I still utilize my old, reliable OE Windows CD to upgrade my existing systems
Links to helpful articles I've yet to read and related personal experiece welcome

JAsT -

The standard distribution WinXP CD (e.g. OEM and Retail) is bootable, unless
you have an MSDN CD,

"How to Create Bootable XP CD with Integrated SP1"
Slipstreaming allows for the creation of a new bootable XP CD with the
integration of WinXP service packs.

Slipstreaming is covered on several different web pages (you can also search
on Microsoft Knowledgebase about Slipstreaming).

The newest slipstreaming approach uses either Ahead's Nero or Roxio's CD
Creator applications. If you use either of these programs, check that you
have the latest updates.

Thank you for the info, but none of the responses seem to address my
question:
IF at some point in the future Windows requires an "install CD" MUST
it be my new, improved install set a la administrative Office
install, or will the original install set suffice? I've perused this
site, as well as some of the others posted and found lots of helpful
info, but nothing addressing this specific question or experience
with this particular issue. Thanks again!

Ah./. You mean if you must perform some future upgrade and it requests the
CD?

Yes - it must be your new improved CD.. At least in the case of
slipstreaming a Service Pack.
