at the same time as the product there should be no bugfixes, unless they 
have to freeze the Win95 code before the pluspack code. OTOH the plus pack
was to be released a little later (2 months ?) so by that time it could 
include bugfixes

MS will probably make them bugfixes available by other means as well, 
although I doubt they will make them available for free (ie FTP), given 
their behaviour in the past
