The problem seems to steam from the fact that there are so many new
technologies rising up all the time. I mean C# for instance is about 2
years old (or less maybe??). Two years experience for production work
is crazy. The argument back is that using such a baby technology is
crazy too but

If you want the real skinny on hardening Windows systems (and removing
unnecessary services and such) check out Securing Windows NT/2000 Servers
