I wouldn't use the Built-in firewall personally. I have the full version of Tiny Personal Firewall so I can properly control what access the internet etc.

all you have to do is enable it, you dont need to configure any rules or ports (unless you use msn 4.7, i use msn 5 which bypases the UPnP settings).

I've not found a copy of MSN 5 yet that stays connected. Only one more day to wait though

microsoft developed a great money making system:
they sell the software and let the users find the little bugs, after, for free. smart, huh?

Not really any different from Jelsoft, users still find the bugs after they have paid for the software. They provide the fixes to users which is the main thing.
