system files wrong build number


vinifera

Recommended Posts

i use XP SP3 + later patches, and noticed that some system files (like explorer)

have changed build number to 6.0.2900.5512

(while CMD ver and winver still shows 5.1.2600)

shouldnt all XP files post SP3 have build of 5.1.26xx.5512 ?

and why did they brand it as 6.0 (vista) ?

In XPx86SP1, the Explorer.exe version number is 6.0.2800.1106. Vista was just a twinkle in Bill Gate's eye back then. Obviously, in this case, the major and minor subversions do not correlate to the operating system's.
