yep. If a hacker can somehow control 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 they get access to your microsoft.com cookies at least. I'm sure there are more microsoft specific ways to leverage this too (e.g. data/updates hosted on microsoft.com that misuse HTTPS as a poor man's authentication. The curl | sh crowd are especially susceptible to this problem.)

They would still need the private key to a https cert that your browser considers valid.
