Windows Firewall and 3rd-Party Firewalls

I've noted that Win XP SP2 will automatically enable the
Internet Connection Firewall (now just the Windows
Firewall) to protect (supposedly) the system from outside
threats. Now, I already have a third-party firewall
installed. Will there be any particular reason for me to
leave the Windows Firewall enabled after I receive and
install SP2?

No, disable it if you're happy with your own firewall.

you will be given a chance to make a choice I have Norton installed and it
was detected By SP2 And SP2 suggested I use Norton and never turned on it's
firewall but you are given the choice.....
