Just like you said it: difficult to get hacked, but worms, trojans and spywares have a party.

I suppose it is pretty useless on MS`s default settings.But it can be tweaked and/or integrated with other firewalls (the excellent old Tiny PF 2-the technology which XP`s FW is based apparently-Kerio also took it over and further developed it) I`m gonna try integrating it with Tiny 2 or Kerio.They should be compatible...

Combining it with another firewall is not wise... you will surely have conflicts. But combining it to a sandboxer like Tiny Trojan Trap sounds very sensible.

Here is my take on it, as well as Leo LaPorte's from Tech TV labs:
If you don't have another firewall, use it... it's better than nothing, otherwise disable it and use a hardware firewall. If you must go for software firewalls, then use Kerio, Sygate, Zone Alarm (perhaps better than msn one lol), Tiny Personal Firewall, etc.
