  1. They're saying the chips are EMV-enabled, but the vulnerable transactions are still using the old mag stripe.

    Actually, the original Sabre system dates back to the 1950's. It was only used internally by AA until the 70's when it was rolled out to travel agencies.

    No, when you do a system backup in 2000/XP, there's a checkbox called System State that backs up your registry and other internal settings. This will let you do a full system restore over a vanilla OS install and should put you back to exactly where you were when the backup was made. You have to use a backup utility that is 2000/XP-aware, though.

    In theory, you should be able to do the same steps on a different machine and the system will handle the hardware changes as well.

    Using Backup Exec, you can even create a recovery disk that will install the bare minimum needed to get the tape software running (no OS install needed).

    Actually, Windows 2003 Server only has 13 updates (including IE 6 updates for 2003 Server).

    What you're seeing is the count of all updates for all versions for a given product (i.e. Server, Advanced Server, Datacenter, etc).

    Same is true for the other numbers.
