Turning on the firewall in XP, modifying the firewall in XP, and turning off the firewall in XP...all things that most users need to do regularly...are lessons in just how poorly designed you can make a system if you really, really try.

And on tonight's news, Microsoft has announced a new Spyware download and firewall protection system that can be downloaded from their servers. Excuse me, but we've all been forced to buy (can you say Symantec?) or use other freeware (Spybot, Adaware, etc.) during the last decade plus, BECAUSE of Microsoft's software vulnerabilities!
No, I will not go to MS's site to download their latest protection for THEIR software problems! It's like purchasing Johnson wax stripper for removing Johnson wax buildup...
