I was confused because Dave was talking about something that changed in SP1, but
it looks like there's no difference in the exploitation on SP0 and SP1. In in
default configuration on both systems IE does not have DEP. If you switch to
OptOut DEP on both SP0 and SP1, the exploit won't work because it tries to
execute data.
