Tom, there's an ancient expression, "the fox knows many things, the hedgehog knows just one thing." I don't prend to understand all the complications, but I do understand the internet environment is not getting any safer--it's getting more dangerous. To be sure, the current exploits making the news are at higher levels, but nobody with the slightest sense would connect without a strong firewall. If you think overhead is an issue, look at Vista! ;-)
