zasada je verzija dostupna iskljucivo za beta testere. finalana verzija bi kao trebala biti gotovo pred kraj ljeta i tu je sada potpuna podrska za SP2 a pod time misle integraciju u security centar.

prilikom rada sam videl da je izuzetno zasad nestabilan, barem meni:(, uglavno jako cesto zamrzava i usporava komp.

jos malo citata:

“Microsoft is pleased to be working with Agnitum to deliver an easy to use and more secure computing experience to our customers,” said Neil Charney, director, Windows Product Management at Microsoft. “The integration of Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro within the Windows Security Center feature of Windows XP Service Pack 2, is one example of how industry collaboration is helping to combat the challenges associated with online threats.”
