Note that the Windows firewall is *not* new in SP2. It existed in the
original release of XP. It's is somewhat improved in SP2, and it's turned on
by default (it wasn't before SP2).
The Windows firewall monitors incoming traffic only. Almost any third-party
firewall will also monitor outbound traffic, stopping rogue programs trying
to call home, and is a better choice.
