Be thankful that no AP's or wireless routers have Microsoft anything
inside. I dread the thought should I see such an abomination.

What that KB article addresses is adding WPA2 support to the Windoze
Wireless Zero Config client on XP SP2. Of course, the access point or
wireless router will need to support WPA2.

However, there's a problem. When MS released their WPA-2 supplement,
there was only one method of authentication available (EAP). At the
same time, Wi-Fi Dalliance added additional methods of authentication
(TLS, TTLS, PEAP), which are not supported in the MS WPA2 supplement.
