The main advantage of (any Linux firewall) is that they are free. Even if
ICS
is part of the OS, you still need to buy the OS.

Also they will work on a much lower spec machine, my runs on an old 486
with
8mb of RAM that I salvaged.

I also trust my Linux firewall (and other servers) to be much more secure
than Windows.
