I never use the XP built in firewall, So enhancing it is pointless to me, I'll continue to use my router and zonealarm for my firewall, Even at that Why would you want to use the XP firewall when theres Superior free alternatives? |

I will continue to use my ZA Pro and Router as well but if the thing is going to be in my OS I'm going to try it out.
Until it is out it's all speculation anyway.They may actually copy some other vendor's work quite well and it will work.

Don't you see...? You are not the person targeted by this. Mom and Pop, who use the computer just for a little bit of email and don't know a lick about protecting themselves... they are the ones who are targeted. Free firewall? Only the security conscious know where to get a free firewall, and they are not the ones who are targeted.
Yes, there are superior free alternatives. But if the user doesn't know to use them, or how to use them, then those superior alternatives are useless.
Personally, I won't use it. But that doesn't mean it's not a good move (if implemented right). |
