    Delving into the contents of MS03-026 on XPIf I were intentionally running XP Gold release, and needed to install
    the MS03-026 hotfix, I wouldn't want to be forced to receive all other
    SP1 updates to the code just to get the hotfix.

    Microsoft maintains several development branches to their code, thus the
    post-sp1 .dll has a much higher version number than the gold (pre-sp1)
    dll.

    There's a great article regarding Windows development cycles and their
    code forks and branches for every OS that is worth reading over at Paul
    Thurrott's site:
    http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winserver2k3_gold2.asp
    Read the section under 'Trunks, Trees, and Branches'
