It's only the Service Pack, not XP along with SP2. Read this:

To install Windows XP Service Pack 2 via CD, you need:
  • A PC with Windows XP Home Edition, Professional, Media Center Edition, or Tablet PC Edition installed

the cd only contains the service pack and not the whole OS, add to that the fact that you found a link of service pack 2 when service pack 3 has been launched ;)

I think we can get the CD only if we have an original copy of windows, isn't it?
even if not, atleast we need original windows to make it work.
