If the current build were in iso format, all the builds from GA thru
current could easily be available via download and corps could run
whichever they like.

   Windows isn't the only product that does this.  It's just the most
common.  It makes sense if you consider that integrated installs are
already a supported end user feature and that the OEM market for Windows
has had this longer.  There is some resistence to this from end users
though.  If you look at the corporate sales area of Dell and other computer
vendors you will see that the OS options they offer include versions with
specific service pack levels.  These folks would sometimes prefer an out of
date version that matches their standard.  Happily, you wanted Windows 2000
with SP3.  If you had wanted an earlier service level you would have been
unhappy.
