Thats a good question actually! I personally don't have much
experience with slipstreaming so I probably can't answer that one.
But I think after getting more info on R2 and realizing that updating
the DCs will be tough enough. I'll definitely go the route of
updating to R2 and then SP2. Luckily, our environment should be good
to go for a few months without too many worries about needing SP2 out
there, plus I'd rather not rush into a Service Pack and this just
helps me get more time to let everything work itself out.
