I fully understand that Nick. I am a former SMS admin and had to deal with this fact in a corporate patch environment. I was helping a person that didn't understand how Microsoft uses the baseline for patching systems. I believe you looked a bit too deep into my mail or liked to assumed I was a patch n00bs. Which is not the case. And XP1 become the "new" baseline after Windows XP gold lost its extended support. Just like XP2 will become the "new" baseline once SP1 passes its extended support.

It would appear the new baseline for all future patches will be SP1 unless theydecided to change it. "New"? There is nothing new about this. It has been standard MS policy for many years now to only support the two most recent "releases" of an OS, thus when Gold and SP1 are the only versions, "all versions" are supported, but once SP2 ships, the Gold release for that OS drops off the supported list. There is nothing new about this at all. Regards, Nick FitzGerald _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
