That's good that WinXP has received an upgrade in its security...But what about Win2k and Win2k3 ???

I'm not saying to make it like XP with annoying reminders and treating the user as a newbie, but features like NX-support.

Shouldn't they be added to other versions of Windows as well? In their next Service Pack?

Focusing on just one version doesn't help the entire population of Windows users. But its a start.
