No, you don't understand.  (Gee, this is fun!)

Explain the claim that that the Plus! pack contains bug fixes.

The claim isn't that Microsoft is not going to release bug patches for
Windows, it was that the medium of delivery was going to be the Plus!
pack.  As noted by someone else, the goal is to release the Plus! pack
*simultaneously* with Windows 95.  Why release bug fixes at the same time
as the product?  (Wise guy answers are excluded!)

The Plus! pack may eventually contain bug fixes, but I rather doubt it. 
MS will also probably make then available via FTP, BBS, and sell them as well.
