Upgrading XP

No, the above has nothing to do with upgrading XP; it's just an amusing clip.

======

I updated my XP setup CD yesterday, rebuilding it so it includes Service Pack 3--- the latest roll-up of all do-date patches, add-ons, and improvements. The process is called "slipstreaming." Once it's done, when you use your setup CD to install XP, you automatically get all the SP3 updates installed from the start, rather than having to to to the Update site and download all the updates and fixes that have been released since your OS first came out.

If you're the one who manages the local crop of PCs, taking a little time to build a new setup CD that's complete with all to-date patches can save many hours in any future installs you do.
