The 5th printing of Core and "The State of Hacking" update Options

[Solstice]

hey I've been aware from SR for a few years, my last game was when 4e just came out. I have the core book, street magic, runner havens, and First Run. I just ordered all the rest of the available books including Unwired.

MY questions are

1. Does the 5th printing of the Core book contain the errata?

2. Is "hacking" still an unescapable morass of rules creep death that is better suited to being glossed over by the GM?

Feel free to fire away with any input you'd like regarding hacking in general.

It's not a slam against the hacking rules but I was a bit overwhelmed just by what was in the core book (I know it's basic). I'd rather know more now as opposed to when I start the game back up.

*EDIT* Just wanted to add that i started playing in 2e.

Thanks in advance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif)
