I understand that the new SP2 firewall is much superior to the rather primitive present XP firewall. So, two questions.

1) Should users of, say, Zone Alarm and Sygate abandon them and move to the SP2 firewall?

2) I understand that the SP2 firewall is on by default. If I intend to continue using my present Sygate firewall, should I switch off the SP2 firewall as soon as SP2 is installed (and how is this done)?
