Seems clear to me:
Affected Components:
Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1: Download the update.
This is a cumulative update that includes the functionality of all the
previously-released updates for Internet Explorer 5.01, Internet Explorer
5.5, and Internet Explorer 6.0.
As with the previous Internet Explorer cumulative updates that were released
with bulletins MS03-004, MS03-015, MS03-020, MS03-032, MS03-040, and
MS03-048, this cumulative update
Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 6 SP1 (All versions earlier than
Windows Server 2003)
Why is the update available for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and
Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me)?
Security updates for these platforms would normally be available by request
through assisted support channels, however since the issues repaired in this
bulletin were reported publicly prior to this announcement the Internet
Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 version of this patch will be supported on those
operating systems for this release.

| Jerry,
| The one thing that is very confusing on this one, if you go to the URL
that
| you stated for TechNet MS04-004, it only lists the patch as needed by the
| newer OS's, no mention of Windows 2000, ME or Windows 98 (it also has a
| little comment about end of life software and not tested) So if you do
not
| have the newer software, it sounds like you do not need it, however my
| AutoUpdate on Windows 98SE did not work, but when I went there the old
| fashioned way, it said that my Win98SE does need the patch and downloaded
| it.
| Would it not be better if the MS Bulletin listed the OS's that is effects
?
| It does just list IE6 as a option, but no other versions of Windows.
| Thanks !
