Windows will wipe the reference to your restore point when it loses 'The Hive' (sounds like a good horror movie title). You will run into the same situation when you do a "fresh" install. Windows Update will not be able to update itself, because it needs a Windows update... lather, rinse, repeat... That's where the slipstreaming comes in, and it's supposed to be 100% legal... Now, I have heard that somewhere before... Was it something to do with the Brooklyn Bridge, or that real estate someone had there in Florida?...
