The determination of mass loss rates and wind velocities in a large sample of hot stars with IUE; the discovery of mass loss and winds in SdO stars; UV studies of mass loss in OB stars in the Magellanic Clouds and beyond; stimuli to the development of improved radiation pressure wind models; and the discovery of substantial stellar wind variability, epitomized by the occurrence and variation of wind discrete absorption components in a wide range of stellar types are discussed. This progress results from the combination of high spectral sensitivity, wavelength multiplexing, observatory nature, and longevity of IUE, important in facilitating detailed variability studies of individual sources over a wide range of timescales.
