Re: FIRST POST

said by Steve See Profile :

The XP/SP2 firewall is strictly inbound - by design - and though one can make a fair case for a firewall in both directions, hinting that XP/SP2 doesn't do such a good job on the outbound side is really disingenuous.
I've read that the firewall that comes with Windows Vista will be a true 2 way firewall. The existing firewall vendors are already probably having their lawyers draw up anti-trust charges against Microsoft.

Toledo, OH		 I've also read that the two-way firewall is supposed to make an appearance in XP/SP3 when it's realeased later this year.

Correct, MS actually posted the details months ago: »www.microsoft.com/technet/commun···106.mspx

Moreover it's been already in Vista betas for a while now (since CTP Dec) but it wasn't that easy to activate: »www.networkworld.com/news/2006/0···all.html

I've received the latest beta (CTP Feb) from MSDN weeks ago but I haven't had a chance yet to look whether it's got better or not...
