I don't know about that. I suspect that a lot of home users just click every available checkbox during install, unless they know what they're doing. Hell, a lot of NT admins do that when they set up IIS on a real server! It may suck for you that you have to pay $100 more to MS if you want to get an MS web server. It sucks less for the rest of us that everyone with a cable-modem won't get infected by Code Red XVIII or the like. If you really need to work against IIS specifically, you'll have to use Win2K Server now or wait until XP/.NET Server arrives, anyway, won't you?
