Firewall not good enough
Upgraded from Windows 2000 Pro to XP Pro SP2. Big Microsoft advert in November PCW states enhanced firewall prevents programs from accessing the Internet as a default and will warn you if software attempts to do so. Not so on my machine (fails Leaktest), most reviews also confirm that XP SP2 firewall only blocks incoming traffic. Microsoft support in Reading thinks otherwise and agrees with advert. Suggest the reason it does not on my machine could be due to partial corruption and advises that I should re-install every thing!! Call this support. This is my last Microsoft product.
