Vista - Whats the use of KB 951634 (Integration Comp.) compared to KB 950050?

I do wonder what's the use of patch KB951634 compared to KB950050. You
will see this if you install the integration components on WS 2008 x64
instead of installing/slipstreaming the Hyper-V-RTM-patch, the well-know
KB950050.

So: can anyone tell me:

a) Is there *any* difference between KB951634 and KB950050?

b) Why does MS use this different HotfixId?

c) Why can I install both of them?

d) To MS: Why does the standard-url not work:

news:OOQ29ofMJHA.4600@xxxxxxKB 950050 is the RTM version of Hyper-V. As far as I know, KB951634 is
just the integration components. With the beta versions, you had to install
the the full Hyper-V patch on to the vm to install the integration
components.

With the RTM version this is no longer necessary. You can simply
install the ICs into the guest OS. You only need to install KB950050 on the
host machine

this would be a beta-version - why can I install it without a warning;
why can I install it all?
Yes, I know.

There is no slipstreamed-version of WS 2008 public yet (of course, you
can build your own, I did so). So why do I have to patch the child
partition in that complicated manner, if I could simply click on the
action button.

My customers want me to explain, if they may or may not use the IC.

Thanks for your support, Bill.
