Is there a way to merge VS2010 into a Windows install DVD so that it is ready for use the first time Windows boots?

Check out sysprep, it allows you to install windows and all software, and then prepare the system for imaging and distribution.

When you arrive at windows 7 out of the box, instead of filling out the fields press ctrl+shift+F3. You'll enter audit mode and can perform whatever installs you need and configure the computer account as well as the default user account.

Every time you boot into this mode sysprep's dialog box will appear asking you what to do. when you're ready select reseal and on next power on boot from your favorite imaging software and create the image. You can then drop it wherever you need to.

You can modify the ISO with this freeware tool http://www.rt7lite.com/. It also supports integrating applications into the ISO.
