"What is it with the Windows Vista Firewall and its refusal to go away? All our PCs are secured behind two firewalls: a hardware firewall and Microsoft ISA Server. The only traffic that gets in is the traffic that we want to get in. Now we can appreciate having the firewall on by default; but after turning it off over 20 times, it's getting to be too much."

You appear to lack an understanding of computer security. But I'm guessing you read much about it from 'experts in the field'.
Firewalls are routers that have rules to control how or if they route traffic between networks.
A firewall serves no purpose on a PC.
If you want to protect your PC from exploitation of network services then just disable those network services.
