a service pack (i.e. sp2) is just a collection of bug fixes. so while it also introduces a firewall for protection over a network, it fixes bugs too.
in xp and xp sp1, there were bugs that were found after they were released.. bugs that make it insecure and easier for a hacker or virus type program to break in. sp2 introduces fixes to these bugs.
of course sp2 isn't bug-free either... maybe there'll be an sp3? doubtful though imo; they're probably focusing on longhorn.
