The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003, 64-Bit Enterprise Edition
Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition
Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0

Furthermore the exploit code that I've seen is only targeting
Win2k-WinXP at this time.

It's still a very good idea to have a firewall while on the Internet
[zone alarm] and ensure that you are up to date on patches [Windows
Update]

"Don't lose sight of security.  Security is a state of being, not a
state of budget.  He with the most firewalls still does not win.
Put down that honeypot and keep up to date on your patches.  Demand
better security from vendors and hold them responsible.  Use what
you have, and make sure you know how to use it properly and
effectively."
