It uses the Windows firewall just for inbound blocking but it still provides outbound blocking itself and monitors both inbound/outbound for behavioral collection.

That is for both Windows XP and Windows 7, correct?

what i mean is being able to give a program outbound access but block inbound instead of just allow or block.just more options in the firewall.

Set the Windows firewall to block inbound and have WSA allow Outbound.
