It's because the update link posted to is from the Windows Update automatic system, rather than the manual updates one gets from the http://www.microsoft.com/downloads sub-site. WU uses a separate server farm, and the files often (usually? always?) have funky download names. I also wouldn't be surprised if the linked file is a different packaging of Win XP SP3, one designed for WU. Maybe needing separate downloads, or lacking certain files, or whatever. Or maybe not. Either way, I'm waiting for the "regular" release via MS Download Center. :) -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
