Patch question re: SQL 7.0 SP4

I'm getting ready to apply SQL 7.0 SP4 and the SQL Server instance is running on Win NT
4.0 SP6. According to http://support.microsoft.com/?id=327068, there is an
O/S patch that needs to be applied, per KB 258437. Fine and well, but then
I see in http:/
/support.microsoft.com/?id=821279 that this patch superseeds (sp?) the previ
ous SQL patch.
So, all that being said, do I still need to apply the O/S patch in KB 258437
? At what point to I apply the patch; before SP4, between SP4 and KB 821279
, or after KB 821279?
Better yet, how do I convince management / users / vendors to upgrade to Win
2K / SQL 2K? ;-)
TIA,
Mike

FYI, I spoke to some folks at Microsoft, and I was told to install SP4 then KB821279 (p
atch available at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en) and that should take care of i
t.
