With the expectations, understand that Microsoft in not adding Windows Vista features to Windows XP through SP3. However, SP3 does include Network Access Protection (NAP) into SP3.
NAP will help Windows XP to take advantage of new features in Windows 2008 Server Operating System and Windows Vista.
NAP is a policy enforcement platform built into Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows XP SP3 with which system administrator can better protect network assets by enforcing compliance with system health requirements. Using NAP, system administrator can create customized health policies to validate computer health before allowing accessing or communication; automatically update complaint computers to ensure ongoing compliance; and optionally confine noncompliant computers to a restricted network until they become complainant.
Functionality of Windows NAP is almost similar to Sophos NAC or Cisco NAC and become more and more popular in the Enterprise Environments to protect the sensitive data and network resources.
