Care to document the steps to secure that version to current patch levels?
(you won't believe what it takes).

Here let me do it for you.. (this assumes you are setting up a web server)

Install W2Ksp2
Install SP3 so  you can go on the web and get IE6 without getting wormed
connect to web
Install IE6 from web
Install SP3 again since IE6 replaces parts of it then install these
hotfixes in this order: Q321599

Q817772 (only if you have media server running)

Those done in that order will patch a web server, also if you want you can add:
Q814033
Q329553

which are critical patches for windows update features (patching the
patcher?) but are not needed to secure a web server. Also I've not included
any patches for local exploits, only remote.
