Thanks,
Possibly, they will also be testing it with all applications in use in the firm, possibly running into the hundreds.

Also being a corporate environment, they are likely to have hardware firewalls, corporate level AV, enterprise level spam trapping. Most of the SP2 enhancements seem to be aimed at those that plug their PCs ethernet socket straight into the internet through DSL or Cable with no thought as to the vunerability this creates. Hopefully this does not occur in the corporate environment.
