XP Service Pack 2 -- An idiots guide?

I found this Microsoft suggestion amusing: "Want less technical information?"

Perhaps the amusing aspect is clearer with this link. See the first link:

I just installed a DLink wireless card on a WinXP-SP2 machine and I noticed that the interface for connecting to a wireless network is very different.

Since this is my first time using a D-Link and wireless on SP2 I'm wondering if this difference is from the D-Link software or is it a SP2 feature. Can anyone confirm?

I'm assuming it is an SP2 feature ... either way it is definately an improvement.

Thanks,
Oz

P.S. Sorry for hijacking the thread.

It is called the "Wireless Provisioning Service" and is one of the best features of Service Pack 2 for XP.
