Story: We all live in a Windows submarine...

The IT sector in the UK is infested with the same brand of unqualified hackery that dominates the other trades such as plumbers, electricians and painter-decorators, who also think they can just figure it out while they're on the job - to the detriment of everything but their own pocketbooks. These types don't give a damn whether it works or not after they've been paid and left the work site.

So if the Windows 2000 in question was installed by IT "consultants" from the UK it's absolutely no surprise that it's full of holes. One wonders if the shysters left essential security settings unfinished in the false belief that they'd be called back and paid more to make it all work. This too should be no surprise.
