Not to mention that they removed the functionality to transfer data from one external port to an internal one. For example, for SMTP, receive on external port 587 (for the clients to work properly) and then transfer the request to internal port 25 (so the mail server can process it). Sorry if I went off-topic, but I am bitter about that, I had to downgrade to win server 2003 just because of that. The firewall in windows server 2008 is scary.
