Before XP was released, test versions of it were released in a series
of "builds," each with a different number to identify that version.
2600 is the number of the final released version.

That's all it means. Everyone now has the same number.

Build 2600 is the latest released non- beta version of Windows XP. Later
build numbers are beta versions and eventually Microsoft will release
one as Windows XP SP3.

All windows operating systems have build number. Build number 2600 was the
final release of Windows XP when it was released. My copy is build 2600 and
so is everyone elses.
