And what proportion of Internet-connected Windows PCs on the planet
belong to Fortune 500 companies, do you think?

And anyway -- I've personally witnessed 'Fortune 500' corps doing some
pretty astonishing stupidly insecure things, and I'm sure lots of
other FD'ers have their own horror stories. Take a few experienced
network and sysadmins to the pub some time... (Now I copme to think of
it -- is anyone collecting real world infosec horror stories?)
