Is the result any different with this method? It has the advantage that SP3 does the integration itself (actually I think the same thing happens with AutoStreamer), but the disadvantage that it requires a specific disk writing program, that I'd prefer not to use. -- You'd be crazy to e-mail me with the crazy.

I've been using the EXE for my slipstreaming. The ISO is bigger - what extra stuff does it have (if any)? What's the difference? -- You'd be crazy to e-mail me with the crazy.

I've never used any of it, or done more than look beyond the directory. The OP just asked "where can I get the SP3 CD", and I assumed he meant the ISO. The EXE form will work for installs, upgrades, slipstream etc. I downloaded the ISO for the extra stuff since I have good bandwidth and heck, I gotta put something on a CD and the exe takes up so little room, and I just might want something later.
