I must be honest, not found, but in a newsletter from them, as I'm a subscriber. But it has certainly whetted my appetite.

Okay, it is pretty. I just don't see anything worth the extra horsepower it will need. Its firewall still stupidly ignores what applications are sending out from your computer, and its system utilities seem to be only minor upgrades.

I don't use the present XP firewall, so not using the one with Vista would not impose any hardship, for me.

I use the XP Firewall and I believe that the new one in Vista will be both ways and still free.

As for the other, remember this is only a beta and they don't show all their cards now.

HA! Your going to wait a long time, XP has been out 5 years and still has bugs.
When you write a program with 50 million lines of code your going to have bugs forever.
