yeah dude. why is microsoft only now focusing on security? I don't think they should even focus on security, they should focus on stability and making their own programs like IE more secure, instead of the whole system. I use Firefox and Zonealarm and I don't have a problem. It's pretty sad when a bunch of programmers working for free can make a better product than a multi-billion dollar company. I think Microsoft should buy Firefox, integrate it with Windows, and let the original Firefox team do all the work. And instead of the SP2 integrated firewall, they should just use Zonealarm.

Oh well.

Zonealarm is hardly better than spyware. As far as firewalls go, it is terrible. One would be better off using the built in Windows firewall, IMO.

yeah why do you say that? the free personal edition isn't anything like spyware. it tells you when a program is going in or out of your computer via the net, and you can lock your Internet connection. pretty simple. I've been using it for years without a problem.

this isn't really a new paradigm... just a tweak on an old one. sort of like 3d glasses for movies...

Where's the innovation?

The mouse and direct object gui has been around for 25 years, and we have known how to drawn things in 3-D since the early 1400's
