Security enhancements from XP SP2? by anynameleft · 2005-03-31 03:26 · Score: 1, Redundant

Isn't Windows Server 2003 designed to be used on important machines? If yes, what benefit do these patches have? I doubt that many system administrators don't know about firewalls, and those who do probably don't know anything about patches, updates and service packs either.
