Windows XP SP2 Copyright Message -> 2004?

[Anonymous Coward]

I hope that when XP SP2 is released that the boot screen splash image is
changed from copyright 1985-2001 to Copyright 1985 to 2004, as they've got
plenty of new stuff, such as the new firewall and so on.

I doubt they will do that. Microsoft never have with any other Service pack
Update. The only way you might get the copyright date changed is if you buy
a copy of Windows XP Reloaded (unless they change the name) which will be an
update of XP including sp2. I suppose you could call it Windows XP second
edition (a bit like when microsoft released windows 98 second edition)

Later builds post Release Candidate 1 do not display a date on the copyright
message only a Copyright Microsoft (c) style message (actual text differs)

I honestly don't see as to why anyone would even think about this! Who
cares?

Well I should hope so being as I am a Microsoft employee using a build
significantly beyond the RC1 build,
