Integrators who are laboring to incorporate it into their

critical servers to a grinding halt, just as the CEO is walking

SP4 includes 600 fixes to the original Windows NT 4.0.

are left un-resolved?

“Some changes are security-only enhancements”. That’s good to
know, but how many other security bugs are still open?

Is your office safe?
