Q816915 New Naming Schema for Microsoft Windows Hotfix Packages

SUMMARY

Microsoft has adopted a standardized naming schema for all hotfix packages (patches or updates) for Windows that are created and distributed by Microsoft. The new naming schema goes in effect in April 2003 for all update packages.

Microsoft has adopted this new naming schema for hotfix packages for the following reasons:

=> It creates consistency across Microsoft hotfix packages.

=> It makes it easier to search for hotfix packages and Knowledge Base articles.

=> It clearly identifies the language of a hotfix package and the intended operating system, when applicable.

This article contains additional information about the new standardized naming schema for Windows hotfix packages.
