Microsoft has officially released the final version of Service Pack 4, the long-awaited update to its Windows 2000 operating system. But the update comes with a warning -- after installing SP4, some users may need to apply a patch.

According to Microsoft Knowledge Base article 822384, users who have installed hotfixes supplied by Microsoft Product Support Services will have to apply a patch on top of SP4 because of a "conflict". The article claims that only a "small number of users" are affected and users that need to apply the additional fix will be notified while they are installing SP4.
