Did Microsoft release a new version of WinXP that included service pack 1?

SP1 is included now,I saw an Ad at Anandtech homepage displaying this,

On Sale! Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1 - OEM Full Version Designed for reliability, security and privacy,

You can always slipstream SP1 into XP CD by using Nero etc.

What is "slipstream"? And does the CD I make will be bootable?

 

[Mem]

How to slipstream SP1 int XP here,what you do is make a copy of XP using software like Nero and install(slipstream) SP1 into the XP copy CD at the sametime,yes it`s bootable,it`s just a copied version of your XP CD but with with SP1 already installed in the copied version on the CD.

slipstreaming works very well..

I've slipstreamed Windows XP Home & Pro versions... as well as Windows 2000 Pro, and Windows 2000 Server to their latest releases..
