Yes, that's correct.

Also, make absolutely sure you download the security updates from the
following page.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx

I'd recommend that your select and install all the patches of severity
rating "critical" since service pack 4 was released.

Make sure you install these patches BEFORE you attach the machine to the
Internet. Also, install a firewall, such as the free one available from
www.zonealarm.com, in addition to a virus checker. A free one is available
from www.grisoft.com.

Hope this helps

Oli
