Not quite so!  

Aside from improvements in responsiveness, most
administrators will want the additional security features.

If you are into wireless networks the update to Windows XP
provides support for WPA2, the latest standards-based
wireless security solution derived from the IEEE 802.11i
standard. Microsoft Knowledge Base article 893357 describes
this update.
