I recall something of the sort when we released Win98 for a specific
non-US locale, although I can't remember the details. MS released the tier
2 and later locale versions after the initial tier 1 release of US, DE,
JA, TC, SC, and KO. Many contained last minute bug fixes or locale
specific patches, especially for bidi. Actually you can say that
international versions have less bugs because their code freeze is
normally later than US code freeze - this is probably a valid statement
for most SW companies.

Probably mistaken -- or a "pirate" version (pirate is in quotes there
since
legally it is not pirating to copy software, modify it, and sell it as
your
own in certain countries).
