    Usual Micro$oft sales pitch. Windows Server 2003 seems to be little more
    secure than Windows XP by default. I have downloaded the fully
    functional evaluation version from Microsoft and frankly it didn't
    impress me.

    My experience is that nothing is ever secure out of the box. Maybe
    someone can prove me wrong...

    What does everyone think of the hype around Windows Server 2003 being

    secure by default? Has anyone implemented one in your environment?
