i think the change in SP2 that is being talked about is the use of the NX bit. This bit tells the OS if a certain mem location contains executabel code or not. Making bufferoverflows harder to exploit.
But this can only be used if the chip suports it, and currently the AMD x86-64 are the only ones that do.
so unles you have a opteron you cant detect any issues resulting from the use of the NX bit
for any one interested there is a realy good thred about this topic at aceshardware.com
well atm it is very easy to get apache running on win ( just a mattor of licking 'next') and apache is running as a service.
I belive the configuration is prity much the same between *nix and win versions.
So i dont c any benifit in running apache through a added copadability layer instead of the native binary, unless there r some majour differences in the code between the two versions (which i doubt).
