Microsoft is releasing Service Pack 5 (which fixes various minor and obscure bugs) hard on the heels of the previous update. In contrast, Service Pack 4 took nearly a year to appear. Microsoft says its new strategy, based on customer feedback, is to issue updates more frequently and to include only rock-solid bug fixes, omitting new features and drivers. Like earlier updates, SP5 is cumulative. It incorporates previous service packs, and it fixes problems that cropped up in SP4, along with other assorted bugs.
