Actually most new machines I've seen ship recently have come with XP SP1
pre-installed so at least the big OEMS are doing this much. I have no idea
whether the new "retail" copies of XP are coming with SP1 or not though.

I've been a lot better about this lately, but I still think 
it's kind 
of absurd that I can't plug a freshly rebuilt Windows XP 
machine into 
the network.  You'd think that Microsoft would at least make an 
official release of Windows XP.1 or something like that to address 
this totally absurd problem with their software.

I've actually seen TODAY a CD coming from HP (so an OEM 
version shipping WITH an HP  or Compaq PC *only*) with WinXP 
Pro SP1 on it.....
