First moron, more like it.
said by the article :

it was not really designed to stop programs from getting out (phoning home)
Is "was in no way designed for" different from "was not really designed for" ? I think the latter suggests a minor effort which expects to fail, while the former suggests that the issue was not addressed in any way.

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.

Amen Steve See Profile. I'd really like to know why an inbound only firewall failing an outboung firewall test, is news?
