Story: Windows XP SP2 may stop the worms

Windows XP was first touted to be "invulnerable" to worms.

That was the main reason my company upgraded our 20 or so PCs.

Later, after release and mass migration, Microsoft quitely stopped these claims (along with the other marketing ploys: it won't crash, hardware would almost always install automatically etc.).

Now we witness that Windows XP worms are commonplace, why would Service pack 2 be any difference?
