Here's a handy tutorial for those who are interested. It explains how to "slipstream" the upcoming SP1 RTM release into the Windows 7 install DVD ISO image. That way when you do a new install or reinstall SP1 will be done automatically.
You do have to download a couple of other pieces of software, but it works. Plus you can also "slipstream" the drivers you use to the ISO image created.
Many tweaks too, so you can delete the items you never really use or are interested in.
This is from the IntoWindows.com website. I'll just post the link so as to avoid any copyright issues.
It uses RT Seven Lite application which you'll need to download and the latest WAIK - Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for windows 7 ISO image. (This you burn to a DVD and then install it.)
Download: RT Seven Lite X86 version (32-bit)
Download: RT Seven Lite X64 version (64-bit)
Download: WAIK - Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for windows 7 This is a big download - 1706.6MB as an ISO image file to burn to a blank DVD.
You also need .NET Framework 3.5, but most users have it already on their systems.

You can also install VMware Workstation 7.0 or Virtual PC (For testing your customized OS virtually)
Let me know if y'all have any issues with it. This is a alternative method of installing Windows 7 along with SP1 integrated and other features all in one DVD.
