I don't want security patches and bug fixes to introduce new features -- and new bugs necessitating new security patches and bug fixes. If I want new features, I'll buy a new OS or install third party software on top of my existing OS. Regardless, you should read up on Windows XP Service Pack 2. It did, in fact, introduce many new features. Most were added for the sake of security, however.
