Windows Firewall is a personal firewall, included with Microsoft's Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista operating systems. Properly configured, it can stop many kinds of malware before they can infect your computer or other computers on your network. Windows Firewall, which comes with Windows Vista, is turned on by default and begins protecting your computer as soon as Windows starts. The Windows Firewall Control Panel is designed to be easy to use, with several configuration options and a simple interface.

Important note: this must be enabled in vista in order for file/printer sharing to be properly work.
its enough to keep your computer protected temporarily while installing other firewall/av software or updates
I use this and the hardware firewall thats in my roughter. The one in Windows 7 seems better and it does track incoming and outgoing unlike XP's. I think this is good enough. I have a friend who uses Comodo and when I go there to fix her computer its always going off so I end up disableing it till I'm done.
I just disable it...
I have it on, but what it does XD
The thing that I always disable:)
It's enough for me. I don't need better firewall... I don't care of so-called hackers... :D
i think ts pretty decent for a free firewall, very low on memory. But comodo and ZA also have free firewalls which easily out preform this.
Why people need it??
HAve comodo or anyother firewalls!!
