Quite a few since the CD was released, particularly if you've kept up
with IE updates, WMP updates, maybe a couple of others. Maybe a dozen
or more. If I have to do a clean install this weekend, which may be

SecUp CD, then head for Windows Updates.

Out of curiousity, how many security updates did Microsoft actually
produce for Win98 in recent years?
