Yep, they did. From what I heard, after the security debacle that was Windows XP SP1, they improved their own security procedures massively, then used them to test (and secure) the code for XP SP2. This is why XP SP2 is *much* more secure than XP SP1.

They also, at the same time, effectively deleted the version of windows that was due to come after XP and started from scratch.
