The automatic Microsoft "Windows Updates" just plug security holes. All fixes which are not security-related are available only as "hotfixes". To get a "hotfix" you have to call Microsoft and request a download url and password from a human.

Of course, the catch is, to request a fix you first have to know the Knowledge Base Q-number identifying the bug and the hotfix.

WinXP Service Pack 1 will be out in Sept or so, and contains a cumulative bundle of all hotfixes to date.
