Like an NT install of *any* of any flavour is secure out of the box? May be
no worse than an unpatched raq but is isn't any better

I can't remember a period of eight months without significant security
related patches for NT being *required*, and I can't think of any
significant MS patches than can be installed without reboots.

So you are basically telling us that you ran your little PDC for 8 months
while ingoring all the MS security patches.

Sure glad you don't look after any systems for me.
