This is an apples to oranges question. XP SP2 was designed for a client
OS, not a Server OS. I can't imagine people would use Server 2003 to
browse the web for anything other than drivers/patches. IE Enhanced
Security prevents this mostly anyway. As far as the Integrated Firewall,
Im sure MS would prefer you use something more robust than what comes
with XP SP2. If not, ICF does come included with Server 2003.

Anyway, like I said, apples to oranges.

Is their a set of hotfixes needed for 2003 that make it comprable in
features / overall security posture to XP SP2?



Although there's probably a bevy of XP SP2 items embedded in 2003, I
would imagine there's a bunch that's not...



Thanks
