Uh, hello?  This still doesn't make any sense when you consider the fact
that the plus pack and Win95 ship simultaneously, and will probably even
be shrinkwrapped together in many cases, or in the same box.  They will
also be pressed at the same time, so if they could put a bug-fix on the
pluspack CD why not on the Win95 CD?  Also if they simply put (later)
bug-fixes on the Plus-pack CD to avoid haveing to recode Win95 itself,
then the vast majority of people who don't have the plus pack would not
get the bug-fix, and also if they did they would have to pay almost a
humdred dollars for a package that they only can use one small patch file
off of.  None of this makes any sense at al from a marketing standpoint. 
All MS has announced is if there are bug -fixes they will be avail in the
first wuarter of next year likely. People have confused this with the Plus
Pack that's all.
