Outbound filtering is weak anwyay... 2005-03-15

Outbound filtering on the host is weak anyway: If you can escalate to root/System, the protection is lost, which is usually far too easy once a system is compromised.

Thus not having outbound filtering in the Windows firewall is not a significantl limitation in practice.
