I don't get all this hoopla about firewalls. In the current landscape, a firewall is (and even that only occasionaly) a very, very late warning that something bad has already happened. Most sophisticated rootkits sucessfully fly under the radar of a software firewall, because they have pwned the network stack. Who probes ports anymore anyway? Windows's got that mainly closed for a long time (you can only get DDoSed and crashed by something weird like that SMB bug Microsoft patched lat month..)
