Thanks.
They don't do the same thing really; it's very unfortunate MS chose to
call their product a "firewall"; it serves only to lull folks into a
false sense of security. They really should have called it "intrusion
protection" or something to differentiate it from personal firewall
software.
It's pretty obvious from the remarks made here that it has engendered a
lot of confusion as to what it does and doesn't protect against.
