Sorry, I was getting confused! You could buy a Vista Basic 32-bit DVD with
SP1.

Just face it, "Daze", Vista SP1 currently has NO BUILT-IN ability
(i.e., "the code is NOT AVAILABLE to the user from Microsoft") to be
slipstreamed by the user with a previous copy of Vista.
Microsoft itself has told us this. Additionally, Microsoft has said
that it will not be available until SP2, IF it is ever going to be
available. NOTE that that is a big "IF". It MAY be made available,
but there is no guarantee that it will.
If you want one now, the only suggestion I have is that you purchase
one.
Or use a third-party utility, such as "vlite".

Yep. vLite, here I come, which is a fine solution for me. I'm happy to
slipstream it myself, just so I have a reasonably easy way to do it, and
apparently vLite actually fits the bill.
I used Autostreamer to upgrade my XP-Pro disc to an XP-Pro SP2 disc, and
then to upgrade my XP-Pro SP2 disc to an XP-Pro SP3 disc, all without
any trouble at all. But Autostreamer won't do the same for the Vista,
and I knew of no alternative before hearing (from Mark, here) about
vLite having this capability. So, that's a fine way to go for me, just
so it actually, in the end, works; and it sounds like it will.

I've just tried it and it does work. The interface is a bit confusing
but it does work. It took me about 2 hours in total. Vista Ultimate 32.
Checked the finished iso by doing a clean installing and all went well.

Dave:
I've been trying it, too, and all seems to be going well. I've not had
occasion yet to actually use it, though, so your input in that regard is
appreciated. Unfortunately, one can only slipstream one version of Vista
per image, but one can also rebuild it to eliminate the other,
non-slipstreamed versions of Vista and end up with a smaller final image
for burning. Since what I wanted was an integrated of Vista SP1 on DVD
primarily for use in repairing other people's PCs, I need a slipstreamed
DVD for each version of Vista, and thus intend to make four (Ultimate,
Business, Premium, and Basic) in order to be ready for anything. Time
consuming, but do-able.

Just keep in mind that this is a violation of the Vista EULA (what
vLite does is referred to as "backward-engineering"), and you will
receive no support from Microsoft if you do it.

================================================
If Microsoft supported us to begin with, by offering a fix for slipsteaming
or at the very least let us download a slipstreamed Vista package we
wouldn't have to take these measures.

And your point is????
Unless you stay firmly on the narrow yellow brick road that MS has
mapped out for THEIR benefit, there ain't no help anyway.
God help you if you want to do anything "interesting".
