Windows "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."

I had no problem disabling the firewall and I don't really use vista that much so I don't care if it gets infected :p

And another thing, maybe MS thought the way he does it wasn't the appropriate way to disable the firewall.. Did he ever think of that? I think not.. Disabling the firewall in vista isn't exactly rocket science, pardon my rudeness, but his rant is just silly..

Well you should! The odds are that once a machine becomes infected, it will be used as a host for sending spam.
