A couple weeks ago, just for grins and giggles I loaded up XAMPP on a 
box with XP where the college sysadmin had just installed SP2.  Short 
version, it didn't work.  Since I don't have XP SP2 at home, I haven't 
had a chance to look into it.  It wouldn't allow loopbacked access to 
Apache, so it looks like a fairly straightforward SP2 config issue. If 
you get it working, let us know what you found.
