Windows PE 3.1 is required to support some deployment scenarios. The BOOTSECT issue exists even when using Windows PE 3.1; CU1 fixes that so it correctly uses the older BOOTSECT.

I thought using WinPE 3.1 was the workaround for the bootsect isssue. Are you saying that after installing CU1, WinPE 3.1 boot images is no longer required when migrating Windows XP machines?

Per the description page (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2938441), yes those KBs are included. As for USMT 8.1, not sure what you're asking there. Windows XP support ends on April 8, 2014. Enterprises using System Center will still be able to support Windows XP migrations, but I assume even that will expire at some point.

Hi, Two questions please: 1. This CU1 also include KB2905002 or KB2910552 ? 2. Installing CU1, in case of migration scenarios, USMT 8.1 brings back support for Windows XP now ? Thank you.
