Zone Alarm.

Alias
 
zone alarm godd for those 'office pc' situations
stick in games and aslong as your on a trusted LAN with router/firewall
then there is no need for a firewall imo.
zone alarm especially causes headache issues with games.

and doesnt windows firewall do what you want? the definition of a
firewall is to stop unwanted data from getting in/out of a system.
outgoing isnt TOOO much of a concern since you should have good AV
protection (stopping virus's from spreading via your network). any other
situation and generally it is initated by the user and is desired.
incoming data is the main one which windows firewall stops.

i am bias'd tho. i *HATE* firewalls with a passion. it's the 1st thing
that gets disabled when i install windows.

zone alarm dont work for me, tried the one thats supports vista and it just
didnt work at all.

i guess i'll have to wait until more support vista
