The build it firewall in WinXp is not all that bad, but he does not do what i expect of a firewall since he does not stop outgoing traffic that is why i also have zonealarm installed.
I tested the WinXp firewall at www.grc.com and everything was in stealth mode so it is not a bad firewall i guess.
WinXp does not offer many security benefits over win2k that i am aware of, my oppionion of WinXp is similar to the one i have at winME, windowsMe is simply a minor upgrate over win98Se
and so is WinXP a minor upgrate from Win2K ...
I wrote a minor review of WinXp here if you r interested
