Digital Signature Sp2

[Notquiteanewbie]

Hey guys, I just got a copy of xp service pack 2 with the following digital signature
5.5.1005.0 (SRV03_QFE.031113-0918)

I'm running xp professional and the update was released today for us.

It's tempting to install this version, is this version the same as the one thats being released today (8/25/04)?

Note: I'm also on dialup so I would have to wait until school starts in 2 weeks to download the update.

That is not a digital signature. Any software could be modified to possess that version string, even Gator.

The MD5 checksum of the file named WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe is 59a98f181fe383907e520a391d75b5a7

//edit: so MD5 that file and see if it matches -- if so, that's more than sufficient reassurance that your file is legit.
