RE: Win7/2008R2 firewall. If you disable the firewall service, but leave the Base Filtering Engine service running, I believe that all inbound ports are blocked. Turning off both of them "works", for some value of making your machine less secure. You can of course disable the Public/Domain/Private profiles, which would achieve much the same level of insecurity.
Opening individual ports, for specific subnet ranges, is indeed the better way to go.
