I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. The whitelisting capabilities of 2008R2 are pretty good. And there are third parties that do it even better.

I'm not readup on current whitelisting capabilities, I suppose I need to research a bit more thoroughly. I haven't seen anything about this in what I have researched.

Try installing a host-based IPS on your system in monitoring mode, and look at what it would block -- and why. There are certain classes of zero-day that can be blocked by software or hardware. There are others that cannot be, simply because of what passes for functionality these days. Oh, and I agree with Ben and Jonathan...
