I really dislike the term "out-of-box security". If you're an admin, or even a buyer of a system, out-of-box security really has little or no relevance at all. I really don't think of security in degrees, or as a rating from 1-10, it is either secure or not secure, and if is currently secure, without and administration, it will soon be insecure. Unless you plan on upgrading each system every day with a system that is "out-of-the-box secure" then there is a little relevance, but I think I will safely assume that is not the case.
