XP pro has been shipping with a F/W for a year now, I'd say? no suits yet. In fact, I read some review (CNET, etc) that said the XP F/W in conjunction with Zone Labs ZoneAlarm was very effective, given the test parameters. I have ran mine since day 1, with both DSL and dial-up. All systems go. Jim |
