Hello.  

No, you don't understand.  The claim made was that the Plus! pack is going
to fix bugs, so if that is true, certainly the expectation is that we
would see some sort of patch work already.  Besides, if MS can make money
selling a separate CD-ROM (or disks), why wouldn't they?  So what you're
saying is that the Plus! pack will fix bugs, but the bug fixes won't be
beta tested.  Sorry, this isn't your father's IBM!
