I thought that 'NT 5.1', XP Version number equals 'NT 5.10' before seeing above post.The Distractor wrote:whistler/xp is 5.01, not 5.1. Just most things got recoded to say 5.1 rather than 5.01. However some things still exist that output 5.01..WinPC wrote:Also, what you mentioned for Whistler (Windows XP/Server 2003, obviously) was undoubtedly due to the fact that the version number 5.1 was almost certainly the plan from the beginning, but that it didn't actually shift from 5.01 (which seems to be an anagram of 5.1) to 5.1 until later as far as the hardcoded kernel was concerned. I don't personally think that Microsoft actually changed any plans at all during Whistler's development, but that it was simply a matter of changing the version number that is embedded into the kernel.
Just like server 2003 is really 5.02, win7 is really 6.01, 8 is really 6.02...
After seeing it, I have the confusion. I'm still confused about NT Version Number like 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, etc.
Does NT 5.1 equal NT 5.10, or NT 5.01, not NT 5.10?
