| Vista firewall to be crippled The firewall in Windows Vista will, by default, have half its protection turned off because that is what enterprise customers have requested, according to the software giant. The firewall will be set to only block incoming traffic even though it will be capable of blocking outgoing traffic. Microsoft also claims that configuring the Vista firewall to block outgoing connections will require a varying degree of technical knowledge, depending on each user's security requirements... http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/securit...9252954,00.htm

| Of course it's going to be crippled... It's a Microsoft product.

| Sounds good - the Business editions of Vista should have it off and the home editions should have it on. |
