It also makes a difference if you have all the patches, part of my job is
keeping up to date with patches for different versions. Currently the number
of patches that we install is as follows:

Win95A           - 19
Win95B           - 11
Win98              -   8
Win98SE         -   3
WinNT4            -  SP4+ 4 Hotfixes
MSIE4.01SP2 -   7
MSIE5               -  9
MSIE5.01          -  1
