They should have locked it down sufficiently from the start.
Microsoft did just that with Windows Server 2003. You have to explicitly enable each Internet-related service. The only thing I don't like is that you still need to reboot the OS after doing certain patches. That kind of downtime is unacceptable in a production environment. Oh well, serves you right for going with such an OS.

I've checked out a lot of the things available for 2003 Server and for a lot of things you don't need a reboot, just the major changes.

I remember with 9.x & NT if you even looked at the stupid thing the wrong way, it would ask for a reboot.

Never tried WinME

W2K was much better

And if you do something in XP that requires a reboot, chances 2003 server will require it also. In every one of the MS classes I've taken I've been told that XP-Pro is the workstation version of 2003 server

You aren't even kidding. I remember with 9x that if you even opened the network folder...and then left (without doing anything) it asked you to reboot.
