I am gonna be honest with you, I have had nothing but head aches with
Windows Live OneCare from version 1.0. It messed my Windows XP installation
so much its pretty much a Frankenstein at the moment. I ran 1.5 on Vista x86
during the betas, but never had it for long since I had to format. I ran
version 2.0 beta (although its a beta) but it made my Vista x64 installation
very unstable and I had to uninstall through Diagnostics Mode.
It has some nice qualities with making Networking and Backup simple and its
licensing supports up to 3 Computers, but its so slow when it scans and
reports that it fails to catch the most basic of viruses leaves a bad taste
in my mouth. Other highlights, 'guaranteed' support under Windows Vista x86,
its always nice seeing an all green Security Center.
