I was on CD/Net concerning Vistas problems and seen the artical on this
product to enhance Vista firewall. Has anyone had experience with using this?
Thanks again for the help. I don't want to keep bothering everyone but I just
put out a lot of money for my new desktop with Vista Premium an am reading a
lot about the problems Microsoft is having with it. As big as Microsoft is it
seems funny that they would not put out a total package of security to
protect their operating systems so one would not have to add other products.
Spyware,virus,firewall,malware,bots,rootkits, come on Microsoft your a
fortune !) Billion company take solid care of your products an especially
your costomers. OK rant is over .

What Microsoft is capable of building into the operating system and what
they are **allowed** to supply, is predicated by anti-trust rulings. It is
YOUR government at work, protecting you by telling Microsoft that they can
not do certain things - such as supply a fully functional utility that would
undermine M/S competitors.

I don't necessarily believe that ms could not market and sell whatever
they want, as long as it would compete in the open market place; that
is, for sale rather than bundled part and parcel as part of the os. The
government is protecting more than the consumer. It is also protecting
the right of businesses to compete under fair, head to head competition,
disallowing a monopoly to use its dominant power unfairly to stem or
eliminate said competition.

Yes. It makes Vista's built-in firewall much easier for the average
user to use.
