XP SP1a or XP SP1

Of course SP1 was released first as the version numbers indicate. Each
subsequent service pack includes all of the current updates and hotfixes
plus any included in previous service packs.

Windows XP Service Pack 1 came out on August 30, 2002.

Windows XP Service Pack 1a came out on February 3, 2003.

Windows XP and Windows XP SP1 had Microsoft VM (Virtual Machine).

Windows XP SP1a does not have Microsoft VM (Virtual Machine).

[[Windows XP SP1a is the same as Windows XP SP1 except that the Microsoft
virtual machine (VM) is removed in SP1a.]]

[[On February 3, 2003, Microsoft released SP1 again as SP1a.]]
