Windows Update SP1 for Ultimate?

A long time ago, Windows Update installed SP1 on my Home Premium system and
it shows that in the Control Panel>System display. However, I recently
re-installed Ultimate on another system and it does not show SP1 in the
Control Panel>System display. Windows Update does not offer SP1 as an
update for this system. Windows Update did do a whole bunch of updates that
took several reboots etc. after the initial installation. How do I know if
SP1 has been applied? WinBubbles shows Build 6000? I downloaded a copy of
SP1 somewhere along the way just in case I needed it and am tempted to run
it on the Ultimate system but I would like MSFT to handle the job through
Window Update just to make sure I get the right stuff. Any suggestions?

Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System. If SP1 is installed, it
says so there.

I had to keep forcing Windows Update to look for updates to get SP1. I also
restart after each update even if Windows Update doesn't tell me to.

LOL! Using WU to make sure you get things right is like depending on
GWBush to spew out a sentence, that hadn't been written for him in
advance, that is actually grammatically correct.

I gave up and updated Ultimate with the SP1 download file. All is well, I
just don't quite understand why it did not update automatically like Home
Premium.
