I noticed that messages that talk about Windows editions are listed as "Editon". As in... 4/12/2009 5:49:58 PM||OS: Microsoft Windows XP: Professional x86 Editon, Service Pack 3, (05.01.2600.00) I know it's silly, etc. Perhaps someone can fix it. |

I believe that information is verbatum as supplied by Windows itself. I thought so as well, but apparently not. Yours show Editon as well. I'll forward it to David. |

I believe that information is verbatum as supplied by Windows itself. Thinking about it more, the OS could be just reporting a code number which then has to be translated into text by a website lookup table. |

Just checked in Boinc 12/04/2009 12:33:13 PM OS: Microsoft Windows XP: Home x86 Editon, Service Pack 2, (05.01.2600.00) its misspelled there too. So Boinc must be the source for the website text. |

Line 477 in hostinfo_win.cpp says Editon. Forwarded that info to the devs. ;-) |

Line 477 in hostinfo_win.cpp says Editon. where do you find that file... I don't see it on my system. I wonder if correcting the description could create a bunch of new hosts when you upgrade Boinc???? |

I'm not so sure, John. Since it didn't do it earlier, when we went from Edition to Editon (and it started a long time ago, probably as far back as 8 months ago, as far as I can see. It was already in the old hostinfo_win.C source code), we didn't get new hostIDs either. So I don't see why going from Editon to Edition will then do it. I think the only sure way to get a new hostID these days is to install BOINC clean, or completely change OS, aka from Windows to Linux. I keep editing this post. ;-) Just had a quick chat with Rom. He will fix it in the source code tomorrow. According to him we won't be getting a new hostID either with a newer client. That really only happens on a clean install and change to a whole new OS. |

So there's no trouble with the new client. My hostID numbers didn't change. Alpha 6.6.23 with the fix included can be found here for 32bit Windows and here for 64bit Windows. |

Confirmed. Website corrected the spelling as soon as I forced Boinc to update SETI. |
