    Windows update was unable to validate my product (XP Home Dell pre-installed) automatically when I tried this link & I had to enter the COA manually - is this because it's an OEM installation, I wonder?

    Why isn't this Update listed through the Windows Update Site?

    Yes, that hotfix was released literally days after the SP2 network installer became avialable.  Most VPN users shouldn't need it, so make sure you're having problems before downloading it.

    The link is not to the "hotfix" Microsoft offered shortly after the release of SP2,  but Microsoft's more permanent and tested solution.
