risk... Especially if it is the same machine you use for personal
computing. The average user has no idea about Internet security and
anytime you open a network port open the risk of being hacked.
Windows is not like UNIX (Mac/Linux). A security flaw in an Windows
app can easily allow root access to the whole operating system. UNIX
on the other hand has a very robust permissions system that provides a
much higher level of security. That being said, I would never
recommend a user run a web server off their personal machine.
Please let me know when you have a version that can be run on remote
server. Not to diss your product, but in my opinion the
risk is far greater than the benefit.
