Actually if you read through the list of affected software you will note that default installations of XP and XP SP1 are affected as well as Windows Server 2003.

See the complete bulletin here for non affected software as well http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-028.mspx

BTW, there is no slowdown if you use another browser.
