By, is he in the wrong line of work. (Unless CIO means something other than "Chief Information Officer, anyway.)

I know that SP 1 support is now gone, but assuming this statement was made at the time that SP 1 was still being supported with hot fixes (say in 2006), am I correct that SP 2 has different security features, including things like WPA support, that SP 1 did not, even if fully updated with the relevant hot fixes?


Yes, you'd be correct.
