Actually MDAC 2.81 is included in XP SP2.

That is correct. MDAC 2.7 came with XP, and MDAC 2.8 is an upgrade for version 2.7. Here is a table that shows the different versions of MDAC, and what OS they were included with.

Not sure what you mean - MS say that
The MDAC 2.7 SP1 Refresh release installs the same Data Access core components as Microsoft Windows XP SP1, with the addition of several important bug fixes. The MDAC 2.7 SP1 Refresh release is also included in the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a release.
Hope that helps - if not please rephrase your question
