My question is PIX or Checkpoint what is better and why.

I think one good point which hasn't been brought up yet is if you need
to manage security at one or many enforcement points - Checkpoint scales
much nicer for centralized management across multiple management points
(or multiple companies for MSPs) with FW-1 and P-1 than anything I've
seen from Cisco.

Personally I was scarred by some bugs in various 5.x versions of PIX
software.

(oh and to echo the point of another person, PLEASE, for the love of
(insert 1+ diety) do not run a firewall on a Windows OS)
