I think NT 4.0 can be get a C2 rating after you put a firewall on the network.
I think I heard something about NT 5.0 shiping with a Firewall that you
can install but does not install unless you do it in the setup. But I
think Microsoft only say's that it can be configerd to have a C2 rateing..
I remember reading something about how the Gov is going to buy a crap load
of PC's with Windows NT 4.0 or 5.0 on it any one know any thing about this?
