Yes it does, what you said was that having a firewall that allowed filtering
based on programs made the system (windows in this case) inherently super ubber
duper more secure than linux.
Of course it does not. Firewalls are just to block connections, not to make
systems secure. They are just one level of protection.
Now, blocking on programs I think is ubber stupid and unnecessari.
If you think you have malicious software/spayware on your PC that you dont want
to let it go out, is your fault in the first place.

Point me to an admin/user that let that happen and Ill point you to a stupid
user/admin

So now, drop this subject for heavens sake!
