Story: SP2's firewall is not good enough

SP2 Firewall doesn't block outbound traffic? Did you even TRY Windows Firewall out at all or were you just guessing?
I installed SP2, I uninstalled ZoneAlarm and tested Windows Firewall out with three programs. Kazaa Lite, Poser 4 and Agent. It blocked ALL three successfully and prompted me as to wether I wanted them unblocked
This is interesting but I don't know the program you used. I would like to try this for myself. How did these programs generate outbound traffic?
