Isn't it sort of sad how a deadly serious perimeter HW firewall can be bought for a reasonable price that inspires
confidence (i.e., Cisco), but all the software firewall offerings (other than ISA imho) sort of look like a joke in a serious
Win2K server environment. From blue screens of death, to lack of support of fundamental features, etc. It almost
appears like none of the software firewall vendors either have MSDN, or actually read the thing completely, or even
use Win2K server themselves.
