It was bought to my attention last night that there possibly could be a difference between OEM & Retail versions of XP.

The reason for this theory is that on the OEM version I purchased from my supplier last week of Home, the files on the CD are dated 18/08/2001. I have yet to get my hands on an OEM of Pro or Retail of either Home/Pro so I cannot clarify the Datestamps on those, but I have been told that the Datestamp on the Retail Home version is 23/08/2001.

Can anyone else clarify the datestamps for me please???
