Security:
The past two months' articles about Windows XP Service Pack 2
have generated a lot of email to my address, both positive,
thanking me for letting people know there are problems with
Windows XP SP2 and those chiding me for telling people to hold
off. I thank you all for your emails and comments. Installing
patches is important, but equally important is establishing a
security baseline for your enterprise, small business network or
home network, and establishing that baseline is much, much more
than installing patches. Let me explain. |
