Mine is
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3068.00 (Intel X86) Feb 26 2008 18:15:01 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 3)
But I get this with:
SELECT @@VERSION
in SSMS
Not in Help->About.
Help->About show you only the version of SSMS and related products.
