Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Sp2) includes all previously released updates for the Windows XP operating system, in addition to a small number of new updates. Windows XP Sp2 will not significantly change the Windows XP experience. Installation media and documentation on disc for Windows XP Sp2 may sometimes refer to Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Windows XP SP2 installation guide instructions apply to Windows XP Sp2.
Windows XP Sp2 includes all previously released Windows XP updates, including security updates and hotfixes, and select out-of-band releases. For example, the service pack includes functionality previously released as updates, such as the Microsoft® Management Console (MMC) 3.0 and the Microsoft Core XML Services 6.0 (MSXML6).
Microsoft is not adding significant functionality from newer versions of Windows, such as Windows Vista, to Windows XP through XP Sp2. For instance, Windows XP Sp2 does not include Windows Internet Explorer 7, although Windows XP Sp2 does include updates to both Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7, and it will update whichever version is installed on the computer. For more information about Internet Explorer 7, visit the Internet Explorer home page.
One notable exception is that, Sp2 does include Network Access Protection (NAP) to help organizations that use Windows XP to take advantage of new features in the Windows Server® 2008 operating system.

Sp2 is cumulative, so users can install Sp2 on top of Windows XP SP1 or SP2.
Windows XP Sp2 supports the same languages as Windows XP did in its initial release.
You can run the Sp2 update package on any edition of Windows XP SP1 or SP2. For example, you can run the Sp2 update package on a computer running the Windows XP Media Center Edition with SP1. The exceptions are Embedded editions for XP.

You can deploy Sp2 using Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, or third-party solutions. The process has not fundamentally changed.
Windows XP Sp2 is for x86 editions of Windows XP only. The x64 editions of Windows XP were serviced by Windows Server 2003 SP2. For additional information, go to Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2.
