1. Comment - Time may be running out for a 64-bit Vista-based ZoneAlarm

   (Aug 28, 2008 - 11:01 AM)

   Being a Sr. Software Engineer, I necessarily adopted 64-bit early. This meant my loyalty to ZoneAlarm Pro was forcibly at an end, because at the time Zone Labs could not (or, rather, refused) to support 64-bit. While I'd rather be using ZoneAlarm, I was forced to go with Comodo. I've tried others (under 32-bit), and I personally like(d) ZoneAlarm Pro as my firewall software.
   
   Each time Zone Labs has sent me marketing material, trying to regain my patronage, I've always written them back that they can only do so by supporting 64-bit. If Comodo can do it, why can't they? Granted, I don't think Comodo has the security features ZoneAlarm sports, and perhaps Zone Labs has tied some of their features too tightly to 32-bit systems, but this delay (and, let's face it, outright hostility toward 64-bit) shows dangerous lack of foresight on their part.
