This weekend I needed to build a new VPC image that had Windows Server 2008 and SharePoint 2007 Enterprise and I wanted to slip stream the service packs for SharePoint but I never did it before. I didn't know how hard it was going to be and with my great surprise it was actually pretty easy because I used the 2 articles below as guides on getting everything done. I must say things have been a lot easier with SharePoint 2007 version when doing things outside of your comfort zone because there is so much more documentation posted on blogs, MSDN, TechNet or Office Online.
Deploy a simple farm on the Windows Server 2008 operating system (Office SharePoint Server)
