[unisog] Managed host based firewalls

[Clark Gaylord]

What's wrong with Windows Firewall? It works better than most, stays out of the way, no installation to manage, easily managed via GPO -- I don't get it. Granted it isn't ipfilter or even iptables, but nothing is on Windows and GPO is sweet and easy.
