Remember, SP2 due to the new "Security Enhancements" (which may or may not warrant quotes, we'll see) changes some fundamental things so that until PC Cillin, McAffee, and Symantec update the way their programs fit into it (and already have their internal betas, just they wont release until SP2 comes out.)
So firewalls are reconfigs are going to be a headache as well as programs no longer working due to memory being more restricted access. It's going to enable NX (no execute) on certain blocks of memory, and if you don't write your programs in strict separate (no executing directly from data) you are dead in the water.
THis will be a tricky thing to see pan out. Still don't understand completely how they are going to get a Von Neumann architecture to work in Harvard Architecture mode.
(Von Neumann Architecture is Instructions and Data are saved in the same space for execution, easy for viruses masqurading as data to overwrite code.
Harvard Architecture has strict separation of data and instructions so viruses are much harder to accidentally execute)
