Build 2600, which has been out since October, is the *production* release of WinXP. IIRC, many of MS's patches will only install on production copies of its OS's. > Is it possible to patch this Build I have so I can safely DEMO it and > see if I like it or am I resigned to a swiss cheese Installation > which I am most definitely not enthused about pursuing further ? > I have run the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer thru several > times and no amount of tweaking by me is gonna plug those holes I > have without the patches! So I am thinking this is a lost cause?? If you want to keep what you have, you'll probably be stuck with an unpatched system. It's quite possible that you'll have to move to the production version if you want to be able to install patches. -- Su If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand. :-)
