As everyone has mention already, Vista's firewall is great. However, the outbound protection is not enabled by default, so you're only getting inbound protection. I've explained this more fully here and recommend a very nice program called Vista Firewall Control to enable the outbound protection.

Oops, I see Kayman has already mentioned Vista Firewall Control in his post. Sorry...
