>  Vista To Handcuff Firewall

It makes no difference, you can't trust a Microsoft firewall to do what you
set it to do anyway. You have an operating system that takes your commands
and treats them like suggestions. You have a company who overrides the
users hosts file settings to re-enable microsoft websites that the user has
blocked. You have WindowsUpdate applying new copy protection and rebooting
systems when it was only supposed to do security updates. Who would be so
stupid as to think the firewall would be any different?

I mean would you trust the MS firewall to keep MS out or keep Office, IE,
Media player or Messenger from getting out? That would be like letting Wile
E Coyote guard your sheep.
