SMB2.0 was introduced in Vista, but was not supported until Vista Service Pack 1, and Windows Server 2008. The dialect was changed to 2.002 in these releases, btw.

Also the word "which" is different from the two other cases below, which use "that".

SMB2.1 was also supported by Windows Server 2008R2.
