    I agree that Zone Alarm is a great product, in fact the Gold version of this
    guide will use Zone Alarm Pro - once I get the time to finish the guide!

    However the aim of the Bronze setup was to make the installation and
    configurations as simple as possible and, as the, Windows Firewall is part
    of SP2 (which most home users will have installed) this was the easiest to
    setup. For the majority of home users the Windows Firewall is sufficient
    IMO, even if it's features are rather limited.
