This article is very insightful, as we approach a network border security endgame, look more and more to web based apps being the source of vulnerability and penetration. It's already alot easier to use a malicious activeX control to steal documents from a corporate network then it is to penetrate past their PIX firewall with an IIS remote (there aren't many in IIS 6.0).
