Why isn't this being covered widely?

So, a recent Windows update clashes with the ZoneAlarm firewall. Workaround: Uninstall the latest Windows Update patch via Add/Remove Programs.
This isn't particularly surprising; Windows Update frequently clashes with third-party software (there are a lot of Windows PCs in the world and a lot of Windows programs that muck with internals). At least there's an easy workaround. No need to panic.
It probably would have been better to just submit the timesonline.co.uk link and skip the drama / faint condescension.

I just googled news Microsoft zonealarm and got pages and pages of stories about it - why couldn't you?
After being on hold for nearly an hour at that Microsoft number, the operator gave him a case # and said told him he could either call back in a day or two with that case #, or wait on hold for up to 4 hours - as the Microsoft techs dealing with this issue are swamped. It is apparently a VERY big issue. I can't find ANYTHING in the news about it.
What I did find was this: http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article4304820.ece. I found that highly curious, and probably related, but dad hasn't had ZoneAlarm on his machine for over 2 years, and I removed it myself.
I can't believe that either or both of these issues aren't getting more coverage? What's the matter...is twitter down again?
