Will Jet 4.0 connection strings work on XP?

I'm writing some ASP that uses the Jet 4.0 connection string (with an
Access 2000 database), which needs to work on all versions of Windows
98 onwards, according to Microsoft Jet 4.0 isn't shipped with MDAC 2.6
onwards:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=271908

Does this mean that my ASP code won't work on XP (which comes with
MDAC 2.7)?
If so what's the alternative that will make the code still work with
the older versions on Windows as well as XP?

It seems that Jet is shipped with some other things too though and I'm
having difficulty figuring out what, for instance doesn't IE5 come
with MDAC 2.5 which then in turn comes with Jet?
What ships with IE 6?

Any help appreciated, Cheers.
