I agree..
"Much better to default in favor of security, leave it on by default. Let those who need it off, turn it off individually, or let them turn it off once in the master they use for imaging all new machines."

Kind of like firewalls do now.. "Block with exceptiosn and prompt when a new application is trying to access the internet"

The only thing I don't like about MS firewall is MS themselves not blocking their own outgoing stuff. I don't want my computer phoning home by any means.
