SP2 firewall was kind of necessary addition - but of course there are
lots of users that can't configure it. It's not very hard to configure
at all.

I agree it's NOT hard to configure.  However you get the issues noted in the original post quite often with SP2 firewall on.  It likes to block _outgoing_ ports as well as incoming ports even when you tell it not to.  I am all for saving the end user from themselves, but I think that's a bit much.
