SuperSite for Windows posted a tutorial about installing Windows 7 with a USB memory key

There doesn't appear to be a supported way to integrate Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), though of course various third party tools will no doubt step in to fill that gap. While I ensure this is the case with Microsoft, I thought I'd touch on a related topic I've been thinking about lately: New Windows 7 installs. I'll be migrating my home server to Windows Home Server 2011 when the final version of that product becomes available, and will be documenting that process when it happens. But I've also been looking at my various desktop and portable PCs and have begun the process of wiping them out and reinstalling a fresh copy of Windows 7 with SP1.

There are many reasons for this. I tend to wipe out my own PCs on a fairly regular basis because of all the software I test. But I'm also beginning the process of migrating existing PCs--and perhaps servers, we'll see--to SSD (solid state drive) devices which, while still expensive, offer dramatic performance improvements over standard hard drives (HDDs). On my desktops, I'll be experimenting with SSD boot devices and normal HDDs for data, and on my notebooks I'm moving from HDDs to SSDs or hybrid disks (which combine solid state storage with traditional hard drive hardware).
