While home users typically haven't patched their computers appropriately,
and may be running web and other services without knowing it, there's still
a problem with notifying them via net send - to the best of my knowledge,
the default Windows 2000 install doesn't accept messages from users unless
they've authenticated. My guess is that this is also true in Windows ME.
