Slipstreaming IE8 | |
|

Jane Maliouta: As James and I mentioned in our blog post What’s coming in IE8 for IT Pros?, IE8 can now be slipstreamed into Vista and Window Server 2008 OS images. If you manage the desktop images for your organization, slipstream saves you time by simplifying the task of adding Internet Explorer 8 and any IE updates. If you’re adding Internet Explorer 7 to a Windows XP image you’ll typically install XP and then add IE7 before capturing the image -this can take 2 hours! With IE8 and Windows Vista, you are able to integrate IE8 into the image file of the original operating system in about 15 minutes. No more booting the OS image, manually installing IE and re-capturing the image. The slipstreaming support also extends to IE8 cumulative updates and language packages. Slipstreaming IE8 into an OS image will only be supported on Vista and Windows Server 2008 platforms. Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 do not currently offer a solution for slipstreaming Windows components, which are built using update.exe. Here are the steps to create a Vista image with IE8 being the out of box browser by default. You can try this yourself with IE8 beta1. | ||

| Why would anybody want to slipstream a beta1 of anything? |

| I assume the product will not alwats remain as beta 1, and when it is RTMd, you can slipstream it. |

IE 8 will likely never ship inside Vista and or WS08.
Vista will be deployed in large numbers after IE 8 RTM's. Businesses and even tiny OEM's like my own, will want to prepare systems with IE 8 in a single step. As such, engineers are practicing and preparing now, for IE 8. It's an exercise and it leverages and demonstrates how much better and easier Vista is to deploy and the strengths of the image based format, over update.exe |
