WinXP SP2 containe IE/OE SP2. There is no IE/OE SP2 for earlier MS Operting Systems.
Since the HTML capabilities of the OS are tied to IE then the fact that you do not directly
use IE or OE still means that that the HTML vulnerabilities remain.
There are other pertinent changes in SP2 as well. This includes the XP FireWall and
recoding of some WinXP components.
