well it certainly is nice having an out of box firewall that works.
I still like the functionality of ZoneAlarm, and the ease of configuration.
Granted this is a HUGE step forward for MS in the security field.
Something that actually blocks programs from accessing the network, BY DEFAULT and I like the new pop up blocking, finally something good in IE's favor.
I will still use Mozilla thou for my browsing, I am very much addicted to the Tabbed Browsing and plug-ins that are out there for Mozilla and it's kin.
and low and behold they seem to have gotten a wifi manager that works.
the old one always lost connection to my APs whenever they say the ping from a second AP. Most frustrating let me tell you. I started using Boingo just to keep an active WiFi connection :|, course that was before I went with ABG APs and Proxim ABG cards in the laptops, the Proxim client is great. having all the profiles for wherever you happen to be or go is EXTREMELY nice, no reconfiguring when you get home after you have been at wrok, or out in public at a hotspot.
Well enough babbling for now
