Re: XP Service Pack 1 versus Service Pack 2

You are correct and your CIO doesn't know what he/she is talking about.
SP2 is required if you wish to continue receiving important security updates from Microsoft and very soon, SP3 will be the minimum requirement.

I have a CIO that has told me that Service Pack 1, with all hot fixes applied
is the same as Service Pack 2. I know that SP 1 support is now gone, but
assuming this statement was made at the time that SP 1 was still being
supported with hot fixes (say in 2006), am I correct that SP 2 has different
security features, including things like WPA support, that SP 1 did not, even
if fully updated with the relevant hot fixes?
