The buzz on the new Windows Firewall continues to heat up!
One of my colleagues on the Windows client security team was featured in a great article about the new Windows Firewall coming in Windows Vista and Longhorn Server. Check it out here:
You may wonder why I think this is so darn exciting...well, I'm glad you asked that question. We've made a ton of improvements to the core networking features in the next releases of Windows. When you add up the redesigned TCP/IP, expanded security functionality and support for the next generation of hardware acceleration, there's a boatload of stuff tucked into that release.
Unfortunately, and here's where the marketing guy in me comes out, most of these improvements are "behind the scenes" and the end-user will only notice the overall improved experience Windows Vista will bring.
The new Window Firewall, on the other hand, has this great new UI via the MMC snap-in and it's something that is going turn a lot of heads, as illustrated by the number of articles popping up on the subject.
