For McAfee, you have to decide what's allowed incoming and you have to 
decide what software is allowed to communicate out.  In other words, 
everytime I have a new program installed and it checks for an internet 
connection, I have to decide if I want it to communicate out or not.  
Perfect example, Microsoft's WinXP SP1... upon installing it, I was 
greeted with a message saying that it wanted to communicate with microsoft 
and I had to decide to allow/deny the communication.

Is this what you mean by Isolation?  If so, then ... afraid it does.  
However, once that's taken care of, you only have to do it once per 
application.  I think majority of the firewall software do this now (and, 
if they don't, they should IMHO).
