Maybe in a corporate environment, but not Joe User with a cable modem or
a cheap DSL line (or even dialup and DynDNS).  It's my guess that there
are more than a few websites out there running on unsecured $500 Best
Buy (or PC Connections) computers.  And it's very easy for Joe User to
get a completely unsecured IIS server up and running on one of those
boxes.
