Well that's true, we are on our own. But the SP1 installer should be intelligent enough to just "jump" over uninstalled components. At least the "big ones" like speech support (Are you kidding us MS?) , asian languages, natural language, maybe the OOBE thing + a couple of others. Doesn't Service Packs for XP install on nlited installs, or will we have to reinstall XP when SP3 hits as well ?
