Yes, the idea would be to have a minimal base image of the OS that you
would not have to update, or at least not frequently, along with a
bare-metal re-installer that you would boot from CD.  But, I'm not
sure if anyone knows exactly what needs to be in this image for
Windows or whether you have to update it after installing windows
updates.
