My home PC is a stand alone machine, do i need windows 2003 ?
And if you use a router with your dsl or cable, you also don't need a software firewall. The router is a good hardware firewall.Originally posted by Considering
I wouldn't worry about a firewall software unless you are using an always-on connection (cable, dsl, etc).

Buy Norton firewall if you want to upgrade the software on your PC. It will tell you whenever someone is making a hack attempt on your computer, lots of MS security humor could come from that, especially as the attempts start to decrease over the first few weeks you have the firewall installed.
Of course you do, silly.Do I need Windows 2003 ?
Just to keep you in suspence?Why Longhorn has to be so late till end of 2004 ?
It depends on your specific needs and preferences. Windows 2003 is an older operating system that may not be compatible with newer software and hardware. You may want to consider upgrading to a newer version of Windows for better performance and support.
No, Microsoft ended support for Windows 2003 in 2015. This means that there are no more security updates or technical support available for this operating system. It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of Windows for better security and support.
Technically, you can still use Windows 2003 for your business. However, since it is no longer supported by Microsoft, it may pose security risks and compatibility issues with newer software and hardware. It is highly recommended to upgrade to a newer version of Windows for better performance and security.
You can check the version of your Windows operating system by going to the "System Information" section in your computer's settings. If it says "Windows Server 2003" or "Windows 2003" then you are running this operating system.
There are several alternatives to Windows 2003, including newer versions of Windows such as Windows 7, 8, or 10. Other options include switching to a different operating system such as MacOS or Linux. It is best to research and determine which operating system best suits your needs and preferences.
