W2K in my opinion is only as secure as the administrator behind it. M$ is finally starting to take steps to help the newby admin, but it basically comes down to making sure patches are in place just as with any other OS. I can't speak for Mac, but unix/linux have their own patches of the day depending on the distribution.
Just my two cents.

Hi- I'm a unix / Mac guy. I agreed to set up a test installation of W2K Advanced Server because the M$ rep has always been nice. It's going to be in a DMZ so I'm not as scared as I would be, but my impression is that windows in general is full of holes out of box (at least from the number of command.exe's in my apache logs it would SEEM so), and I don't know where to start when it comes to windows security- Where is a site I can go to that lists all the updates / patches I need to get started. Any general advice? -mab --
