Vista64 slipstreamed sp1

[L. Hollett]

I think I read somewhere that Vista can be slipstreamed like windowsXP is
that true?

When SP1 is available will I get a DVD/CD from Microsoft to go with my
ultimate retail version or will I have to download the SP from MS updates?

Due to the new image-based way of installing you can't just slipstream it in
like you could before. Apparently Microsoft are going to be working on
improving this with SP2.

If Microsoft will slipstream it in-house and provide the ISOs, I'm not sure
anybody has anything concrete yet. If they do that'll be more for
MSDN/Technet subscribers and computer manufacturers than retail.

Just get hold of an Anytime Upgrade DVD, this will contain SP1 once the
manufacturing is complete, I'd say wait til end of March.
