Satya's blog - Is this XP SP2?

Oct 01 2004 20:31 Is this XP SP2?
So wintermutex's winver gives me: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633: Service Pack 1)

Aside from the "2600", scary by itself, it says Service Pack 1 but then what's the xpsp2 in the middle? And the date seems to be March 22 2004 -- assuming that's a date.

Hmm. Kulin tells me that's xpsp, 2.030422. Oh, well.

This message brought to me by winver, the windows command I haven't used since ~1997 and had forgotten.

Stupid windows update icon is stuck, says "downloading updates 0%". windowsupdate website doesn't offer to give me SP2 either.

On the other hand, wintermute scared the heck out of me by spewing on port 137 via IP address 0.130, whereas wintermutex is 0.125. Scared gort, too (which is why I saw it in the packet log). Why is wintermute spewing?

(It scared me because I had forgotten I had booted wintermute -- and 0.130 is unfamiliar since I almost never use it. I suspected the laptop for a hwile there until I checked MAC addresses.)
