Is an updated XP install CD available?

I have 3 computers and I reinstall XP on them every 4-6 months or so. Is it
possible to get an updated install cd every time I do this so I don't have to
install all the updates? The last time I did this it took a number of hours
to download and install all the updates. If I buy a new license every six
months or so, are the updates automatically included? Can I use my old
license keys on a new install cd to update all 3 computers?

Thanks,
Charlie

Windows XP CDs can come with SP2 already part of the installation. But,
they don't come with the post SP2 updates.

Hi there,

You can make your own updated cd by slipstreaming the updates. Just google
for it lots of free tools to do so all you need is the updates your windows
cd a burner and the program to slipstream for instance Nlite.
