While doing a demo on Public sites on SharePoint somebody I asked me how to find what SharePoint version any site is using. After some research I found that If we need to find the version of SharePoint on which a specific public facing site is running we can find it by checking the header of any page from the site. This is quite useful in the situations where we can not access the servers in which the application is deployed and we need to find the version of SharePoint (true for both 2007 or 2010) Farm. In these header we need to check the value for MicrosoftSharePointTeamServices parameter. This value will show the whole version number for the SharePoint build which this site is using.
To find the header for a site we can use any of these sites (just search on any search engine):
http://pgl.yoyo.org/http/server-headers.php
http://www.webconfs.com/http-header-check.php
http://www.rexswain.com/cgi-bin/httpview.cgi
So to find the version of SharePoint on which
http://sharepoint2010.microsoft.com/Pages/default.aspx is running I passed the URL of the site and this is what it returned me:
As highlighted Microsoft is using 14.0.0.4760 to run it's site :)

Haven't had a chance to play with SP2010, however in WSS 3.0/2007 that number is the version which the system was at when the site was created. So if the web application was created @ RTM, the version # there will be RTM.
