Yes, Build 6000 is the latest.

Technically, it is 6.0.6000.16386. Winver simply reports 6000 -- there are
loads of other ways to explore versions of various files and modules.

The build was -- allegedly --- frozen in November, the files are dated
November 2 (my birthday -- smile) and released to certain subscribers,
volume customers, valued beta testers, etc. in the last 2 weeks of November,
with the official first "event" on November 30.


The screen clip I've attached will show you a bit more detail. It's the
Properties/Details screen for Windows Mail.

Whether MS can resist fixing a few critters by updating just a few files
before sending the DVDs to their duplication contractors is a question only
Bill Gates can answer. With a January 30th "public" release date, I think
they are VERY close to their "now it REALLY is final" deadline.

None of this matters. If they do some silent or even public fixes to the
so-called RTM code, you'd get the fixes via Windows Update anyway, assuming
your copy isn't a "Frankenbuild." :-}
