How insecure is PPTP
Is PPTP really so insecure ? If using VPN access to a server that has PPTP VPN access configured on it then is the only weakness the strength of the user account passwords or are there other issues ?
I am using Windows server 2008 R2.
Please do not suggest L2TP or other tunnelling protocols, I know that they are more secure.

If remote VPN access to a particular server was between a wired (not wireless) host and a wired server where there was no wireless Ethernet then how likely is it that hackers could gain access to the traffic between the end user ISP connections ? am I correct to say that any hackers would need to be on either the servers network or the remote user's network ?

I am now considering the use of a Cisco RV180 router at the server end and Cisco Quick-VPN client software for remote users (road warriors).

PPTP is the least secure VPN solution.
You can even purchase a PPTP hack on line.
