Microsoft readies two-way firewall for Vista - Computerworld

Link: Microsoft readies two-way firewall for Vista - Computerworld. Big Brother is coming to the Vista operating system. Is anything scarier than a partnership between Microsoft and IT Administrators, aimed at controlling not only what users see, but what they do? If Microsoft were as successful at security as it is creating ways to control the use of PCs, then we all would be safer. I can foresee users of Vista sitting at their computers, unable to do anything at all. If you can't go out,and you can't bring anything in, the firewall becomes an opaque barrier to information flow. Does anybody else see this as a problem? If Microsoft and the IT Administrators form this unholy alliance, a lot of users in large Corporations and firms will be unhappy campers. And, you thought I was crazy for being a solo practitioner!
