I am creating a new windows xp disc with integrated updates, and I am thinking the convenience of integrating updates vs batch install after installation. PROS of integrating Faster installation than batch Cons Slower to create an updated disc Slower to update the disc PROS of batch script Easier to maintain updated (You can create a disc with latest sp3 installed and search for a batch file in a flash drive with the updates, or a network folder with a cron job than downloads new updates and updates automatically add to the script, also the batch file can delete the updates uninstaller with ccleaner) Alwais updated disc (With network method and the cron job) Cons Slower to install Am i missing some benefit of integrating the updates on the disc?
