  The question requires two options.

  Hi Igor, what options are you thinking to ?

  I see the questions as a chance to challenge various aspects of the product, an opportunity to learn, so what options are you thinking to and why ? please detail a little bit if you have a few moments.

  Cheers,

  Iulian

  I meant for the 1. and 3. answer.

  I see

  For option 1 I understand the reason, it is in the article the question refers to.

  But option 3 I do not see the argument. Why ?

  I mean for option 3 the explanation I can think of, and which I wrote in the answer, is that the features are installed even if they are disabled and so the installation will not necessary be faster or slower, in my opinion.

  Cheers,

  Iulian

  Thank you for the question Iulian. Fortunately we have come a long way from default sa accounts with no password, rpc wide open, early WebDav and other such horrors, still think there is a long way to go though.

  Well, while I agree that security is most important reason, the other two options could be true as well.

  Occasionally.
