I'm certain that a free solution for controling Vista firewall will come out soon now that Vista API has been released.

I know, but it's qute a struggle to use it that way, since every rule has to be added in manually.

It only allows four settings per program: Allow all, Allow incoming only, Allow outgoing only and Block all - nothing more.
Thus, it doesn't even come remotely close to an actual firewall

Better wait for an actual firewall than use this sorry excuse.
