Well, on the grand scheme of things, XP SP2 is far from secure. I know of a 
good many arbitrary code exploits that are easily utilized by a common 
webmaster. And the "firewall" is like a chain link fence for a privacy fence. 
IMO you were better off not "upgrading" to SP2 and sticking with SP1 until 
SP2 was fixed (released, but far from done, and def. not an upgrade) 
I'm sure M$ was better with 2003 considering it was supposed to be a SERVER 
edition, but then again you never know with M$.

Is their a set of hotfixes needed for 2003 that make it comprable in

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

Thanks
