Windows Vista Firewall

Microsoft seems to have decieded that the default behaviour of the Windows Vista Firewall will not include a filter for outbound connections. Microsoft was considering blocking outbound connections by default, but in response to customers requests, changed that to a no. Windows Vista will still have the capability of acting as a two-way firewall, but not by default, so all you security folks, with Windows Vista servers coming up, can take a deep breath of relief. :-)
