Hi Mr Lebeau!
 For what Mr. Galema says I understand how much stupid is Microsoft XP 
Firewall ...
I thought that after SP2, it was better :(
It's not a good thing for Microsoft such a publicity from a great guru of 
developing :-) ... Maybe they will start to hire good programmers :)
 For me there's no matter ... I've never used a firewall ... what or who 
should I block? I'm only a student, no hacker would find interesting what I 
have in my PC ... I know that the only way to keep software protected at 
100% is to keep it in a PC not linked to any LAN/Internet connection:)
And It would take only few minutes for me to get another firewall if I ever 
wished ....
The matter is another: many families will consider WinXP SP2 good enough for 
protecting their home PC, so shortly most of home PC will be running that 
"piece of junk" ... and as programmer I have to make my applications/service 
running in spite of it!!!

THANKS Gambit!
Please help me with the issue of the redirection of the standard 
input/output, that lack in the security keeps me scared ;(
