Vista Slipsteam?

I have slipstreamed XP quite a few times using nlite. Is there anything as easy for Vista?

I recently reinstalled Vista from scratch and it is a very time consuming process. Why do MS make you download all the updates to SP1, then SP1, then all the updates to SP2 , then SP2?

Doesn't SP2 have all the previous updates included in it?

    Why not just obtain the official Vista OS with SP2?

    Otherwise vLite.

    Many thanks......I didn't know vlite existed so I will give it a go.

    As a matter of interest how do you get the the official Vista OS with SP2?
    I have a re installation DVD for Vista pre SP1 supplied by Dell with my computer.

    You would still need to slipstream the DELL components in to the new disc anyway.

    I've sent you the link anyway. You can decide at your leisure.
