You'd be surprised at how many people just plug their computer into their cable modem still, or directly into their DSL. When I was home last christmas, I discovered that was how my sisters internet was setup... I unplugged it and went straight out and got a linksys router to put in between.

One of my other quotes, which didn't make the article, was along the lines of hoping that a worm wouldn't spread to much because hopefully not to many people are using computers that are directly connected to the net. However I have seen it quite a bit.

I think one of the places that this will be a problem is college / university residences... many of them forbid NAT devices in front of your computer.
