They include bug fixes and also new features. SP2 for NT4.0 has a lot of 
new things (and that's where the nasty bugs came from...)

Somewhere in MS web site... (I can't remember the URL)

They are cumulative and so you can apply just the most recent one! ie SP2 
includes SP1. However I would not install SP2 for NT4 as it has some 
remarkable bugs. On the other hand, SP1 seems to be a must if you want to 
run Explorer 3.01. In my case I installed SP1 and I will wait until SP3 
comes out (it is currently in beta test). But even then only a few days 
after it has been released and I will be watching the reaction of those who 
install it in comp.os.ms-windows.nt
