Windows XP Pro SP1 vs. SP1a

[Guest]

I have a couple of questions
1: Is SP1 still available from MS or it is SP1a with no SP1 availabilty?
2: What are the diferences between SP1 and SP1a ( I thought it was only the
Java)

Thank you all

SP1a is the one that is available. Yes, there is no Java. It was removed.

virtual machine (VM) is removed in SP1a. ]]
