There are other issues with Microsoft's networking protocols than just unintentional shares. It leaks potentially lethal information like a sieve. Letting it willy-nilly through your firewalls is an invitation to have compromised hosts on your network. It should be filtered by default, and only un-filtered by request; and that with the understanding that if it even looks like you might be owned, you get cut off until there's an explanation.
