If it's a slipstream it's not on the original CD; it'll be a different

kind. If the "orginal" isn't really the original, all bets are off.

Slipstreaming is seldom worth the time investiment in getting it to work

right and especially in proving it works right so that when you need it

it will actually help you instead of just throwing errors at you.

Use an imaging software; much, much better. Besides, slipstreaming

an SP saves what, one or two clicks and a CD change? Wow.

normal version of xp sp3 should just be one exe file you can run on

top of your xp install

If you talked to Microsoft, no.

A CD with Windows XP SP3 (if you could find one for sale)

*or*

A CD with Windows XP SP2 then slipstreamed SP3

should be the same.

Or at least on paper.

Slipstream is just the practice of applying the SP3 patch to a CD that

does not have it thus making the CD a SP3 CD.

 

* In theory *

 

Now the debate begins! I think it works like that but some say it does

not. I guess we're back to the same debate as that of IE7 does/doesn't

work when installed.

 

The reason for a CD slipstreamed with SP3, IIRC, is to make a CD that

will do a repair install work, as a repair install will not work with a

SP2 CD on a SP3 system. Again *if I recall correctly.*
