WIN NT 5.1???

[peach]

<font color=blue>I was looking at the OS's of choice for SETI here and I noticed WIN NT 5.0 <i>and</i> 5.1. I thought Win 2000 was NT 5.0. What about the 5.1? What is this? Is there a Win NT 5.1 released as such?

There is no Winnt 5.0 and 5.1, they changed it's name mid-course to Windows 2000. But when runned on Windows 2000, some utilities can return Winnt 5.0 as the operating system version.

<font color=blue>Like I said "I thought Win 2000 was NT 5.0."

My question stands - What is NT 5.1?

I am referncing berkely's <A HREF="http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/stats/oss.html" target="_new">SETI at home website</A>. They indicate the following on their list of operating systems used:
<font color=black>

#2) Windows NT: 4.0 74107497 137465.329 years 16 hr 14 min 57.5 sec
#3) Windows NT: 5.0 37165598 55642.462 years 13 hr 06 min 54.1 sec
#27) Windows NT: 5.1 240475 339.361 years 12 hr 21 min 44.0 sec

<font color=blue>That's a quarter of a million people using Win NT 5.1. It obviously exists - what is it!?

<font color=blue>You know - I bet you are right. Although 250,000+ seems like a lot, I heard there were over a 100,000 downloads of it. And, those would be the type of people to run SETI.
