Phil,
I would imagine that the preference for Firewall-1 was expressed
because the administration of it is far more user friendly that a PIX.
Admin of FW-1 can be carried out using a Windows GUI with all the rules
laid out in glorious technicolour, while admin of a PIX involves a CLI
(command line interface).
But then again if you're a die-hard Cisco engineer you might think that
Windows GUIs are a bit of a soft option, and that you prefer to do
things in raw CLI fashion.
Regards,
Ben
