If's funny but this month's patches include one for the spooler that is a
remote anonymous code execution exploit (on w2k, don't remember if it's
anonymous on XPsp2).

So I went to patch all my web/mail/dns servers and realized only one was
ever at risk because I've disabled the spool service as part of the install
routine for my servers that don't actually provide print services. It
occurs to me MS should think along these lines, the world would be a much
safer place if they did.
