Windows Firewall Confusing

Posted: 06-22-2007, 07:33 AM
I had a brief look at Windows Firewall in Vista Ultimate, and I find it
exposes far too low a level of detail in the ruleset, and there are so many
default rules it is almost incomprehensible without careful study. I
administer ISA 2006 and Firewall-1 boxes with hundreds of rules in the
ruleset, so none of the concepts are foreign to me, but the UI in Vista
Firewall just doesn't organize the vast numbers of rules in a way that makes
them easy to follow.
