LWW Version 5.02???

I just had to replace an aging old P4 boat-anchor with a new Gateway laptop. But you can only buy new computers with MS Vista -- no more Win/XP. Anyway, after installing my LWW 5.0, the patches for 5.01, and finally the patches for 5.02, all of my LWW windows continue to say Version 5.01. However, the uninstall tool in the Control Panel shows LWW as Version 5.02.

I cannot find any way to ascertain that I'm really running 5.02 instead of 5.01. The Help/About panel does not specify which sub-version of 5.x we are running. Has anyone else seen this problem? Anyone know what to do?

What does LISP-IMPLEMENTATION-VERSION say?  In my case (WinXP) the
answer is "5.0.2".

Just to be clear, what does

BTW, with IBM (aka Lenovo) Thinkpads you still have the option to get
XP instead of Vista.

I think most laptop makers give you the choice, actually.

Btw. I've recently installed LW 5.0.2 on a new Fujitsu Siemens laptop
with Vista Home Premium, and have no problems except for a very, very
rare crash situation when changing the background color of a window,
which seems to be unique to Vista (It's so difficult to reproduce
(very rare and makes everything crash - no backtrace) that I haven't
reported it to LW yet).
