Hello Ryan,
the answer for your question if there are any hacks for win2k pro is depend
on what components are installed on this workstations.
for example if your developers have IIS installed there are planty of hacks
:).
so if you want exact answer if there are hacks you will have to check all
the components that installed on your computer.
since services packs not only offer security but offer more things such as
bug fixes and etc it is recommanded that the least you do is install service
pack 2 and 3 when availeble.
you can always send users to
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
this will exam your system without sending any information to microsoft (so
they say..) and will explain with details to your users what is needed to be
applyed and why.

I know it is possible to strip email headers completely, but is it possible
to cloak a header of an email to show an email to which it came from
without using a proxy server?

Another question I have is are there any hacks for win2k pro that are out
there that I should be aware of? I have a few people I know who haven't
updated since sp1 and some who haven't updated even since win2kpro was put
out. I have told them but I'd like to know so that I can at least tell
them the reasons.
