I have been told that the *most* common reason for finding IIS on a non-server install of NT or W2K is that although IIS is *NOT* installed by default on non-server boxes, it *IS* installed if you are upgrading and it finds traces of 'Personal Web Server'.

Good call. That is indeed what appears to have happened. I am still seeing "odd" behaviour from that machine, and there are a lot of inappropriate ports open on it (maybe explainable, maybe not). There may be an update on monday. Since officially that machine never had a web server on it, it took a little behind the scenes work to verify this. I feel quite relieved, truthfully. I like the world to keep working in an explainable and rational manner (yeah, yeah, I know, but I do). -- Open source should be about giving away things voluntarily.
