Nah, I'm not that bothered.

It *is* kinda interesting that this file should just be randomly 
floating around though when it says it's supposed to be "confidential".

Think about it...  If everyone knew how Dell and HP and others 
preconfigured the windows firewall, there'd be 74325694256942769824698 
sploits in the wild already circumventing those default rules.
