Don't bet the rent on those thoughts.
An increasing number of programs/packages for Windows platforms incorporate a mini-IIS server as a data display mechanism. For example, a big-name software deployment package that we bought generates its conflict checker reports as web-pages, exported via a built-in IIS server.
So unclueful people might not even be aware that they're running web servers on their workstations.
