They are often used as references and security best practices in other countries as well. Hence it is hard to understand why the recommendations on how to harden Windows Server <strong>2008</strong> based systems were published only some weeks ago and only on a preliminary draft basis (which is, obviously, better than nothing ;-)).</p>
