Ahh. Yes, both the ZA beta and the Kaspersky release version do. For
some strange reason, the firewall MS packed in with VISTA does not.
Weird, eh?

I believe outbound filtering is turned off by default, but it's there if
you are willing to jump through Billy's hoops.

That's a lotta work and it seems to presuppose you know which ports and
services every "outbound" wants. It's surprising MS simply didn't
license an in/out firewall. Well, as I mentioned, the Kaspersky internet
security suite covers that ground, and it has a decent interface.
