Microsoft is banking on enhancements to what it has dubbed the fundamentals to entice enterprises to upgrade to the next version of Windows, known as Vista. The company will use upcoming industry shows to sing the praises of improvements to the Windows networking stack and secure networking techniques such as server and domain isolation to sell both Vista and Longhorn, the planned update to Windows Server.

The first one: Depends on how well the system is protected. A standard XP is easy to get control over. But you really should update such a system
The second one: I've never tried a Linux distro without firewall enabled. The only embarassing linux distros are the Linspire like systems.
Again: Come forth with links to information about these embarrasing situations, and the names of all the many (non-existent) linux distributions shipped with all kind of services turned on and no firewall.
Come on. 6 years ago firewall was standard in all major linux distributions and many smaller ones as well.
I've never hard of a linux system without a firewall. It would be insane (besides that a firewall isn't really needed on linux in the same way as on Windows - unless you are running web services of course).
