As an example, I think the switches for W2K Security Rollup 1 are DIFFERENT than the switches used by most other hotfixes... and W2K SR1 is a "Q" hotfix. One telling aspect of the commonality of the command line switches is that most of the hotfixes in fact use the same hotfix.exe program to apply the relevant patches... ;-)
