Edit: are you saying you do not download 150+ updates but have them saved somewhere?

This is what I was referring to in my last post. I have all but 9~10 updates plus no SP1. Personally I will NOT install SP1 on any of my boxen because of Windows update #KB971033 and a few others. Certain updates are nothing more then M$ spyware so no go. Now if M$ was willing to do a 50/50 share of the profits generated from that spyware, that would be a different story.

Anyhoot, I can DL and slipstream SP1 and add it to Win7 for someone else if interested. Of course if you want to do it yourself then use the RTse7en lite slipstreaming tool (Link)
