While the Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions packages were
originally released in "Feature Packs" (10/23/09), they were subsequently
expired and rereleased in the "Updates" classification a few weeks later
(11/10/2009).

No. There are separate packages for Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows
Sever 2003.

Well... do you have "Windows XP" enabled as a product category to
synchronize?

Okay. What are the filter options on your Update View? Have you, perhaps,
previously Declined the XP update for this package.

Depending on how many product categories you have selected, there may be as
many as a half dozen packages available for KB94379 (XP, XP x64, Win2003,
Win2003 x64, Vista, Vista x64).

The product is XP and the category Updates. I don't have Vista enabled so cannot
compare but you need both the correct product and category.
