Bruno,
Microsoft has created a utility called XImage for creating and editing WIM
images. It was just released to the Vista Beta testers but will not be
available to the masses for some time yet. It will be able to create (and
edit) images for XP as well as Vista but you will have to recapture your
images with XImage (you will not be able to edit images created with the
existing OSD).
Hope this answers your question.
