Does anyone know if MS releases an updated monthly XP Pro CD that already
contains all of the latest hotfixes slipstreamed? When SP2 came out MS
released an ISO that already included it. I also found
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913086 but that is just a cd of hotfixes
that is released every month. I am looking for a regular bootable XP Pro
SP2 CD that has all of the hotfixes already slipstreamed. I know I can do
this myself, but it would be beneficial to me and I am sure many other
admins if MS released a new ISO image every month with the related hotfixes
already slipstreamed. I have to do a lot of reinstalls and manually
applying 30+ patches is a pain even with scripting. The alternative would
be to release SP3.

Thanks,

No, they do not.
Probably because of the number of different versions of ISO's they would
have to keep updated, if nothing else.
And then people would want "all the updates included but KBXXXXXX since that
breaks their corporations loser-app from 1994."

I just keep my ISO updated (and my network install updated) with each
month's updates as they are released.. Keeping one ISO back. That is just
part of my "second tuesday ritual". I may even share those ISOs with other
groups I work with. Same for Office.
