We installed XP with the NTFS file system, choosing all of the factory defaults, then patched it with each recommended security update including SP-1 (required), before installing SP2."

"If you think you know more about security than an author who has written a book on it, go buy that swamp land."
I've read a lot of technical books over the past few years. BIG difference between writing a book and being anything close to an expert on the subject. I've read enough books, I could likely write one too. Does that make me an expert... Hell NO....
So called technical books are notoriously full of opinion, speculation, and often suffer from a lack of actual facts. Read a dozen books on computer security and you will likely arrive at this conclusion also. Claiming to be a computer security expert is the new "hot ticket", really being one is another story.
