Default Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-010 - 331953

The article explains why NT 4 patch is not available.
But I think this show MS' attitudes that they will
never put security as their number 1 priority.

Considering they are now pushing the migration from NT4 to 2003 server

they
know that people still use it ... and will be for some time.


Yeah, but at some point you have to wonder about people who on the one hand
claim to be security conscious, while on the other hand the software they
are using is way old and support for it is vanishing. Usually this means
that security is NOT the top priority [money or man hours being more
important than security]. The argument that "I'm still on NT because it's
more stable in terms of number of vulnerabilities being found on it" is
holding less and less water.

How long do you think they should continue to provide support for old
products? NT4 is what... 7 years old now, 8?

Don't think on it as "how old is the program?" but rather "when did they
stop selling it?"

Considering they are now pushing the migration from NT4 to 2003 server they
know that people still use it ... and will be for some time.

Just my tuppenceworth ...
