</div>It may seem that way but it's Check Point which is patching its software<br>
to fix the ensuing internet connectivity problem, not Microsoft. This<br>
suggests that ZoneAlarm had some fragile code in it. So it could be that<br>
Microsoft is innocent in this instance.<br>
<br>
Of course, I can't be sure about that either. Check Point's ZoneAlarm<br>
fix might be working around a new bug which Microsoft's DNS patch<br>
caused. Who knows what goes on in the shady world of closed source code.<br>
