I wonder why I always post to your questions? Dave, it is actually quite easy for anyone to be the judge of the difference between the Win2000 code and the XP code. You just have to reverse engineer the different platform patches for the same vulnerability. It is pretty easy if you know what you are doing, and you will see changes to completely different API's. Some are quite similar, but in general they are very different. I would go ito more detail but I have to clean up my yard from wind debris before my wife yells at me.
