One and the same, AFAIK. Certainly seems secure enough (until the next
exploit ;o)

One oft-forgotten thing is to only permit the server to do what you need
(e.g. no uploads required? Inhibit them).

Ditto keeping the data on a non-system partition (and preferably drive). For
a dedicated NT-class server, it's useful to place the boot on drive C, the
data on (e.g.) D:, and the actual OS on E:/whatever
