I have been running the Win XP firewall. I have a few friends that use zone alarm. Is the windows firewall worth much, or would i better off disabling the windows firewall and going to zone alarm?
microsoft is insecure due to it's popularityTheir software is insecure because it's insecurely written. It gets exploited more because it's popular.
Of course, it gets worse when they release patches only to later revise them because they weren't. tested properly the first time.
I use their stuff all the time, but I'll never be convinced that they take security anywhere near as seriously as they do 'user friendliness'.
but MS Support Centers would get flooded with callsNot for $30 for a one incident support call, they wouldn't. Or whatever ridiculous fee they're charging these days. You don't get free support with their products.
Or free phone support, at least.
