Will the "Slipstream" version of Vista on TechNet work with OEM product keys? If I have to do a clean install, I would rather use the full install with SP1 integrated rather than my original OEM disc and then apply SP1.

I see there are 2 new Vista SP1 integrated downloads on TechNet Plus:

Windows Vista Ultimate with Service Pack 1 Checked/Debug Build (x86) - DVD (English)

Windows Vista Ultimate with Service Pack 1 Checked/Debug Build (x64) - DVD (English)

What are the "Checked/Debug" builds?

@SLoweCSL:

With Vista and Server 2008 Microsoft has stoped created different CDs for OEM, retail, education, and volume users. The only difference is 32/64 bit, and Enterprise/everything else. So yes, the ISOs on TechNET Plus will accept any (valid) CD key.

Thanks for information about new design of Subscriber Downloads. I have a question about it. Will you plan to add missed products(such as SP2 for Windows Servr 2003(not R2)) & remove the products which posted in 2 or more categories(such as "Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP (English)")?
