It's true that the core of windows is the same, many parts of the system are very similar across the two products. But a year and a half, two years ago we were looking at the constant problems we were having with security and hacks. The level of maliciousness of the hacks was getting frightening. We stopped all other work. We got the architecture people to look at each part of the code, and work out how would people attack it, and based on that tried to reduce the surface area, what's the exposed part of the product, the ways the system was listening to the network.

Remember this is marketing hype though. I think it is just an XP update to make the server and security functions work. Sort of.

I'll stay with windows2000- any version, and most linux mainstream builds.
