Zone Alarm VS. Built-in XP Firewall

[xQuiKsiLveR]

If I have the XP firewall enabled, is there any reason to have Zone Alarm? Is ZA better or is there really no difference between the XP one and ZA? Thanks.

XP only blocks inbound connection attempts. ZA blocks most outbound attempts unless you tell it to let them through.

not to mention, well, we all know Microsoft's track record when it comes to security...

ZA is vastly superior, XP's built in FW is rather basic and limited in it's capabilities.
