It appears that the firewall that ships with Windows Vista is not as good as was promised. But that's old news.
But for you guys' knowledge, apparently it filters for outgoing connections but doesn't stop very much by default.
Sure, you can configure it, but the way you would have to is mission impossible because you have to do it by application.
But I'm not that concerned about firewalls. I have never used a 3rd party firewall for more than few hours. What I felt about them is that they are being too messy. But I know some of you guys use 3rd party firewalls, and you'll just have to stick to those firewalls if you move into Vista.
