A common question is: Why not make a single global hotfix? The hotfix installer also updated the registry key:

Microsoft's hotfix policy until mid-2010 was to produce language-specific binaries for non-security issues. The GDI and mshtml rendering code contained hardcoded string handling and codepage-specific routines. The Brazilian Portuguese version of Windows XP uses code page 1252 (Western Latin similar to English) but with different date formatting and currency symbols. The memory corruption bug appeared only when parsing Portuguese characters (like ç, ã, õ) inside HTML comments or JavaScript's toLocaleString() methods.

Thus, applying an English (EN-US) hotfix on a PTB system would not resolve the bug – in some cases, it would break other localization features. Microsoft adhered to a strict rule: hotfixes for localization bugs must be built per locale.
