I also vote for the CD/DVD or USB option. I have no floppy drive now, and I don't plan on ever buying one.
It would also be nice to see MS incorporate an unattended install routine, complete with a menu to select/deselect programs from installing, services to start, and not use any unneeded drivers. Then have this process automatically ask for a blank CD to burn your new (and possibly slimmer) automated install CD, without having to go through all the trouble of modifying winnt.sif and the like, then testing it out on a virtual machine
