I emailed Zone Labs last week asking them about Zone Alarm Pro and its compatibility with Windows 2003 Server. They finally replied and here's their answer for those of you who still believe that it is compatible with Windows 2003. As you will clearly read. It is NOT compatible with Win2003. If you installed it, it may seem to be working fine, but it is not. I hope this finally clears any doubts or questions about the issue. Read on.

I tested Zone Alarm 3.7.159 and WIN2K3 with several firewall tests and It's working fine. I've had Windows Server 2003 beta and now the trial version for some time now with Zone Alarm 3.7.159.

In all the testing I've done(since March 2003), I have no choice but to say that Zone Alarm 3.7.159 IS COMPATIBLE with Win2K3.

Before blasting away saying that it's not...do some testing man...I've been doing it for over 3 months, so I know what I am talking about.

I don't have to do any testing "man" because if the makers of Zone Alarm (ZoneLabs) tell you that the product IS NOT compatible than IT IS NOT compatible. By saying it is not compatible they are not telling you that it won't run on Windows 2003, they are simply telling you that it is not going to run, perform, or protect the OS like it's supposed to. Easy CD Creator 5 installed just fine in Windows XP and burned CDs fine but it could not copy CDs well or do other things. Why? Because it was not compatible so they had to release several patches to fix the flaw and make it compatible with XP 100%. Zone Alarm may seem to be running fine, but it is not. It is broken and not performing at 100%. You want to keep using? Fine, Suit yourself. Don't say I didn't warn you when something fu**@# up on your system.

First of all, if the zone alarm guys say it's not compatible, then let it be.

But if someone else's says it's working fine for them, , so be it. He could have done something to make it working 100 % efficiency un win 2k3.

Why get so worked up ? The truth will reveal when users test it for themselves. Arguing makes you look like a kid, Scorbing.

Who's arguing? I am not arguing dude. Dell Dude is the one that got all hyped up about it. All I did was post a reply from an email I got from ZoneLabs and he made a big issue of it.

OK I have found some information. I had to dig like crazy on their site but I found it. Zone Alarm 3.7.159 IS COMPATIBLE with Windows Server 2003. I guess the Zone Labs representative that replied to my email is unaware of it but here it is. Go to the link and see for yourselves.

My apologies to Dell Dude. I didn't know man. Sorry.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
