Answer

Software developers will often release updates for the software that they make. For example, Microsoft distributes many updates for their operating system. However, sometimes there are so many updates available that it is difficult to know which updates a user should download. To take the guesswork out of updating developers offer cumulative updates. A cumulative update is a complete update of the software. So if you download the cumulative update you know you will be completely up to date. I prefer cumulative updates because I don't want to have to download every update one at a time and worry that i missed an update.
