I dunno. But nmap is usually accurate, and I'm running a very recent

What's really odd is that port 5900 is open -- the usual port for VNC's
http clients. VNC is an opensource remote desktop app a la Exceed. You
can run the client as a stand-alone app or in a browser. There are a
LOT of open ports I wouldn't expect on a webserver. But then, this IS
MicroSoft.
