Oooh. That's interesting to know. I was sure all those fixes had been removed shortly after MS expired them. It was about a year ago, when I needed to do a rebuild at a company site, I was told by their resident MCSE android that the patches had been pulled from Windows Update. (They had a company app that didn't seem to work on anything other than 98SE, after the MCSE told us we couldn't re-patch, I suggested Wine and now they have a shiny Ubuntu box instead- hee hee).
