You're an idiot. Whilst ME was a nightmare, 98SE intro'ed a host of fixes. Most of these were available for free for vanilla 98 users, however, in the same way that most of the fixes in 95 OSR2 were available for 95 users. As far as free service packs go, there were 5 for NT3.51, 6 for NT4, 4 for Windows 2000 and 2 each for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003; all available free, and quite a few added important new functionality.
