How can I tell what version of SharePoint a site is using, from the outside?

how can I tell what version of SharePoint a site is using, without being able to see the admin panel?

Is there anything, perhaps in the source of the pages, that would give me a clue?

Answer

For sites that haven’t been customised much, you can tell a lot from the design.

Typical default 2003 site

The tab style is generally a give-away of the version in use. If you want to know the sub-version, you’ll have to ask the site admin.

There are probably also some clues in the dress of the corporate drones in the revolting stock images 😉
