Default Do you use HOSTS file ?

Hello all,

I wrote a page about Host File and how to use it.
http://www.ifrance.com/programmershouse/HOSTS-EN.HTML
What do you think about it and what else more could I add to it ?

Stickman answered me : "Unfortunately, using the hosts file to block
unwanted content is terribly inefficient."
Why is that ? Do you think squid is more efficient ? Or iptables ?
What about Microsoft OS too ?

Thanks
