140.440.152 bytes: I agree, this is what I had seen around in the servers, irc...
133 MB/ 135 MB / xxx MB : Caution when comparing file sizes. Different server OSes may report different byte sizes for the same file in certain conditions, sometimes depending on the way the FTP connection is done. Hence the confusion. Or maybe there are forgotten SP1 betas still around...
"New" EULA grants Microsoft right to silently "update" your OS. "Snooper" License. Started being applied with Win2k SP3, I think. This "new" EULA displays when updating, but not when setting up from slipstreamed CD.
Different SP1 "flavours": I don't think so... I'm using the one with 140.440.152 bytes with MSDN=Vol=Corp XP, and I have read posts about sucessfull SP1 installs/updates/slipstreams with both Retail/OEM Home/Pro XP. And Win2k never had different SPx files for Pro/Server/ Adv. Server versions.
That 180-day EULA must be trash remaining from the betas, nothing more.
Waiting for 9th Sept. : I agree, we never known what M$ readies... :P
Hope this helps.
