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.

    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.

The Studio Pro use 40mm active drivers which are designed to improve clarity and reduce distortion compared to previous models, with up to an 80% improvement over the Beats Studio3 Wireless.

You can also switch between three sound profiles including Beats Signature for balanced music playback, Entertainment for films and gaming, and Conversation for clearer voice in calls and podcasts. Physically, they are designed to be worn for long periods without feeling heavy or awkward. The ear cushions use UltraPlush engineered leather while metal sliders allow you to adjust the fit. On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing. In addition, the headphones offer integration with both Apple and Android devices.
