We are currently doing content on Network Access Protection at our live TechEvents across the country.  During one of my events I got questioned on my statements about only needing XP SP2 in order to have a Windows XP machine in a a NAP environment.  My questioner disagreed and said that XP SP3 was the minimum level.
