![]() ![]() (Microsoft promises a more elegant method of slipstreaming with Windows Vista, but that's been pushed back to Vista SP2, so for the foreseeable future, we're still using the old but reliable method documented here.)Īs a brief refresher, slipstreaming was originally designed to help Microsoft's corporate customers integrate the latest updates into their network-based OS install images so that they wouldn't have to waste time deploying an OS image to multiple PCs only to later have to wait around while enormous numbers of updates were installed. Not surprisingly, the process hasn't changed much and the end result is still a version of the current Windows Setup CD that's been integrated with the latest updates. I first covered slipstreaming on the SuperSite almost seven years ago, for Windows 2000), the first Windows version to support this functionality. Three and a half years after my previous Windows XP slipstreaming guide ( for XP Service Pack 2, or SP2), we're back again with what I assume will be my last XP slipstreaming guide, this time covering Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3).
