Well, he could have got the 2003 server from the MSDN Universal
subscription - it's only about $2600 for a year.
On the other hand, he could have registered as a MS Partner (free) and
bought the Action Pack which includes 2003 Enterprise, 10 licenses for
All XP products (OS/Office), 2003, publisher, etc... Only $200 for a
year direct from MS.
But, I agree, anyone willing to spend money on an OS that isn't willing
to purchase a firewall is just plan cheap - I would consider a NAT
device to be the first line (or a real firewall appliance) and then some
form of monitoring software and a Corporate version of AV software for
ANY server.
