I can't speak to MS practice, *specifically*, but expect they do the
same as most.

Later production runs incorporate the most current update of the
software, but they definitey do not change the content of any that have
already been produced or have shipped to retailers. As far as making a
determination from the packaging as to exactly what version # it
contains - quite unlikely (v11.0 - yes, v11.2.1 - no). Normally
packaging changes only occur for major releases, not interim updates.

As to what you may get from any one supplier depends on a number of
variables, such as the volume they sell, whether they 'rotate' their
inventory, etc. I've found it a good practice to always check the
developer's web site for updates as soon as I install new software.
