In the spirit of Mark’s recent Newsletter #72, “Making Pkgmgr Work in Vista and Server 2008 to Apply Patches Offline” I took a crack at slipstreaming as I needed to do so with XP yesterday. Next, I’m taking a crack at doing the offline patching trick to integrate Vista SP1 on Vista RTM just for proof of concept to me.
