dcyphure, #1 yes, but I have not tried. There is no reason for it not to work. #2 I guess, never tried it. HTML can be removed anyway, if you know that you do not need it. #3 You need full Vista. What is wrong with reverse integration? In my opinion it is ideal, why install OS and then SP1 on every reinstall, like this you will have preintegrated SP1 which you can lighten up and easily reinstall. I have never used an OS with SP installed over the already installed Windows. That seems so dirty
