That's pretty much what I thought, others have given the same advise.

In my opinion, yes. As we all know about NT and 2k, what they give us in
features and performance they also lack in security. Many worms can spread
around the LAN even if the server in question isn't 'setup to be a file
server'. My experience has told me to take no chances.
Now if I can extend this service to my customers in a reliable fashion,
that's what I'm looking at Declude to do.
