Is the Windows OneCare firewall different from the Vista firewall ?

Just installed OneCare trial & it turned off the Vista firewall. OneCare says "Firewall Restricted". If OneCare does have it's own firewall, that MIGHT be OK. But if it has turned off the one & only firewall, that's BAD.

    OneCare Live is treated by Vista as a third party service, and as such includes its own firewall. While it might seem like Microsoft competing with Microsoft, the "Live" group and the Vista group are separate divisions, and have to be in part for antitrust reasons.
