I just did a clean install of 7 with the integrated SP1 DVD, went smooth as silk. I also have the SP1 stand alone full version saved to a USB thumbdrive. I haven't tested it yet though. I also have DirectX, Dot Net Framework, IE9, Silverlight, and Microsoft Security Essentials saved to the same thumbdrive. I run though them all before I ever hit windows update. On another thumbdrive I have stuff like Adobe Reader, Flash player, Sun Java plug in for IE, and other programs I use. These days I can do my whole install from thumbdrives. The only time I touch a CD or DVD is to install and play a game.
