I am only just ahead of you. To my knowledge Microsoft issue hotfixes to fix pressing problems. As they learn what they are, they accumulate improvements which are tested and then issued as a Service Pack i.e SP, first being SP1. During the testing phase a preliminary version (Beta) is issued so the enthusiasts out there can cut there teeth on it and point out errors before the final version is issued to you and me.
