You know I happen to have a swapable drive that had Win2K Pro RC1 beta on it. It happened (as you might recall) displayed the Build number on the desktop. Unfortuately, I blew it away. I might have been able to tell what portion of the version number the build was by checking that. MS uses an aa.bb.cc.dd format that's documented somewhere. I just can't remember where I saw it.
