A cost-benefit analysis. I.e. how much will it cost to detect and restore a cracked site versus the cost to make it a tad bit more harder to crack the site. Personally I'ld rather err on the safe side, but MicroSoft has shown by its continued existence that the world thinks otherwise. IOW MS grocks the world, sad as it may be. The last statement you made, however, is I think unbeatable by whatever PC/Anywhere gadget out there. Remote administration is not where NT++**?? shines.
