autodefe Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Nice but uh, is this just IE 6.1.. or did u upgrade to "Windows XP SP1 Beta" ? You only show a screenshot of IE.. I'd like to see some more please! And you should also rename the title of this thread.. it may be a bit misleading. :sleeping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-outcast- Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 thats fake, the numbers after 'xpclient' should be different. Its a date isnt it? "010817" doesnt that mean August 17, 2001? wouldnt they change those numbers as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phinal Phantasm Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 So what build is Windows XP reporting? Is it 5.1.4280?? That would be cool to know. Are there any big differences between IE 6.0.2800 and 6.1.4280? And I guess more importantly, what would one have to do to get a copy of that from you? :) Would you be a pal and share with us? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwakui Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 I'm inclined to question the authenticity of this screenshot, as it uses the old Windows logo (the flag) in the top-right corner of the screen and on the Start button. It would surprise me if Microsoft left this flag in even betas of SP1. This, however, is nothing conclusive and only a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
