Well gang, after much speculation, we have learned that the final build # of WinXP SP1 will be 1105.1

Not much more info on the final build at this moment, but we do expect to see it at your favorite suger shack within 24 hrs. Funny, some (no names mentioned) have said it's been pushed back by 10 days or more. I suspect they are reading AOL forums.

See ya soon! :)

My 1105 indicates "version 1.16.121.0" as does my 1102. How does one tell which version is which (besides the files size)? I ask because soon there will probably be a ton of 1105.1's mixed in with another ton of "plain jane" 1105's available for downloading.

Well actually, I believe the the story I saw was from Paul Thurrott on wininformant.com dated August 28th, 2002. Would that be an AOL forum? Been a pretty reliable source of info for me, anyway. And if people would have actually read the titile and article it did say "within 10 days". I hope we are all bright enough to understand what the word "within" means. Of course, this has all been speculation for the most part, so everything must be taken with a grain of salt to some extent whatever the source is. Shit, just yesterday I was reading there would be an 1109 build. Buy hey, the speculation has been kind if fun, I guess. We can all pretend to be experts! But in the end, Microsoft will decide when to release the bastard and what the final build will be. Hopefully, this topic will be old news in a week or two.

Well, here we go again. Amid all speculation of Service Pack 1 build numbers in the last 2 days, Microsoft has been busy putting the finishing touches on the truth. Until now we have had information that build 1105.1 was to be the final Package

That now has all changed. What we know is as follows:

1105.1 was only built for some languages, indicating it might be RTM for those specific languages. 1106 was also compiled today, which then indicates that MS plans on going on with the english version. 1106 is the rtm (release to manufacturer) code, and so is 1105.1 ... they are just packaged differently. We can expect RTM for oems to be around 1110.

So that being said, if you are looking for 1106 to show up, don't hold your breath. 1106 is an internal build, not packaged for release. Although RTM, it is still being tested. make sense? You ask what then CAN we expect. Well for sure the OEM around build #1110. But if we happen to get our hands on anything else before that we'll be certain to pass it along.

I'm sure this is will cause tons of confusion but just sit tight and try and avoid speculation. It'll make all our lives simpler.
