Released in 2001, Windows XP is still the most widely used operating system on the planet---even two years after the release of Windows Vista. But Windows XP did not stay the same straight through all those years; Microsoft released three service packs (SP).
Service Packs
1. In the world of Microsoft Windows an SP represents a significant amount of updates, typically overhauling certain parts of the operating system. These SPs are released through Windows Update online, but Windows users can also request free CDs of SPs directly from Microsoft.
Timeline
2. Windows XP was released in 2001. That system's first service pack, SP1, was released in 2002 but introduced no new features to the operating system; it simply collected a number of various security updates. SP2 saw release in 2004 and, in addition to the various updates, introduced a number of new features to the operating system.
Security
3. The focus of SP2, according to Microsoft, was security. As such the main differences between this SP and SP1 are the various security aspects, including support for encrypted Wi-Fi networks, a pop-up ad blocker for Internet Explorer and a firewall.
Firewall
4. SP2 brought the Windows firewall to Windows XP. This meant Windows users without a firewall were given a degree of protection they previously didn't have.
Control Panel
5. An entirely new window was brought to the control panel with SP2: the security center. This window tracks whether antivirus software, anti-spyware software and a firewall are installed, and informs the user about whether those programs are up to date.
SP3
6. In 2008, Microsoft released SP3, a downloadable bundle that includes all updates since SP2. Unlike SP2 this service pack does not include new features for Windows XP.
