Problem is, you can't engage in gunfights with 5-0, rob banks or pimp your grandmother out on a *nix. On Windows you can do this in Grand Theft Auto 3. Its going to be OS of choice for home users (and thus a lot of businesses as people will be familiar with it) for a long time to come. The XP firewall was a step forward for MS. Now they need to turn it on and block by default giving the user an intuitive interface they can point and click at: "I want to use kazaa, e-donkey, etc". TT
