This is not true, IIS 4.0 is choked full of exploits.  Microsoft refuses =
to fix a quite few of them considering they are winding down support for =
that OS.  This is why your friend hasn't had to patch his server.

Where do you this Windows 2000's IIS got it's codebase from???

List,

I have a friend who thinks running NT4.0 with SP6 and IIS 4.0 is a very=20
secure alternative to Win2k.  He says he doesn't have to keep patching=20
his system, that it runs for over a year without needing intervention.

Can anyone confirm/deny this?  This machine is running on the open=20
internet, with some of the other "junk" services turned off.
