We used the same idea during the cold war. We shipped sensitive Geiger counters all over the Russia via rail so they could sniff nukes and nuke facilities. Cool idea. I think we got caught though.
I totally agree with you. Engineers often judge products by the sum of the features / options rather than how well they are put together. I have this fight all the time w/ people on my team. They outsource too many decisions to the user that he / she probably doesn't care about, and often isn't even qualified to make the decision. When the users are confronted with these decisions and they don't know what the pros and cons are and they back off and find something else. I think we loose lots of users for this reason.
On top of it all in-Q-tel was founded during the clinton administration, and the companies they are funding are startups not "big business". Everything from stealth airplanes to DMV stamps are made in the private sector.
Keyhole, now google earth got its seed funding from in-Q-tel. The CIA needs technological devices and in-Q-tel is there to fund the companies that make them. In the real world private companies w/ cleared employess, not Q and his elves, build these things. How else should it be done?
I have an old 466 g4 w/ a 120gig hd hooked up to one of these. It acts a music server so I don't have to store tons of music on my pwbk. By enabling music sharing, I just browse the server's music from my pwbk. My roomates can all do the same thing. We've had 5 people listening to different songs off the server at the same time w/ no probs. In response to a way previous post, there is no need for VNC in this setup.

Yes, keyhole got its seed funding from In-Q-Tel. A venture cap company that works w/ the CIA.

That said, has there been a major hole exploited since SP2? I haven't heard of one. I'm not a windows user, so I don't really know.
Is the internet going to commit Hannu Kari?
