Wow. A NT based system is more secure than a 9x/NT based system? Wow. Who would have thunk it...
Seriously Windows 2000 was created as a Server based OS. Not really a desktop OS. Yes i know of Windows 2000 Pro but it still wasnt classified as a desktop OS.
Maybe if they said Server 2008 was less secure than Windows 2000 i would acted shocked and surprised.
