Well, before this gets all blown out of proportion, lets get this cleared up right away.

With XP SP1, in 242 days WU (Windows Update) v5 will come online. When you go to WU with a clock set that far ahead it checks V5 servers instead of V4.

As the database is currently empty, it just won't do anything. So, in a nutshell, WU is simply disabled in 242 days because the WU servers have not updated to v5 yet. With XP SP1, by 242 days WU (Windows Update) v5 will come online.

Nothing to worry about folks.
