could someone explain this to me?

 

[Cloud Strife 7]

I don`t know...version number? It says to me the same under Operating System in dxdiag. Althought I don`t think it`s version number as WinXP is Version 2002...

 

[Noxious Ninja]

Windows XP is Windows NT 5.1, build 2600. I think SP2 changed the "Version" to 2002.

 

[Kane]

Nope, My SP2 XP is Build 2600. It's just the build number of the OS.

 

[FLaRe85]

Anything before build 2600 is a beta version since 2600 was RTM.

How is yours any different from ours?

 

[culubalo]

well isn't it the first build that was released to the public? So I assume that it is also the weakest win xp around, since well it was first so there must be something newer and better on the newer builds....

 

[Esturk]

There is nothing different or "weaker" in the older Windows XP. They are pretty much the same chunk of software. The only difference being that the newer Windows XP comes with Service Pack 2. There is only one final build of Windows XP. 5.1.2600. Get over it.

First release of win xp is weakest at all. Just update to make it more vulnerable and also install spyware killer for protection against spyware. SP2 is crap for me, not worth installing it.

 

[culubalo]

I wasn't winging about it being old. it's fine by me either way.

What makes you say that?

 

[D.D.]

[orysyz]

What makes you say that?

It always buggin me with network search and make me wait longer before i can use my computer.

Please elaborate.

 

[orysyz]

Please elaborate.

I used dsl connection. When Windows start there an icon at system tray (its network since the icon same like connection icon) blinking. when point my mouse over it, it said searching address or something then end up with no connectivity. Since it doin that, I have to wait.

 

[culubalo]

must be the internal windows xp sp2 firewall...

 

[orysyz]

Thats why i used external firewall software and some anti spyware sofware for safety. Its better than SP2.

 

[VDDZ]

I have SP2's firewall disabled, and those auto updates, and I have no net problems. BTW, is there anyway to get rid of that damn red-x shield?

 

[orysyz]

Thats the other thing I hated about SP2
