How much you want to bet it wont be compatible with Windows 7?
Then the MS execs will say, Win7 is so superior it doesnt need an AV 
Just like OneCare wasnt compatible with their flagship release of Vista 64.

The sucks. I've been using OneCare for a good two years now and I have to say its the most non-envasive security program I have ever used. I was using Zone Alarm before so may have to go back to it. I hope they finally worked out their compatibility issues with Vista because there is no way in hell I'll ever install Norton anything I own. |

I also vowed to ignore Norton since around 2000/2001, but from what I read, NIS 2009 is a superior product. I have yet to try it, just have read some comments here in the Security forum.

| Trust me, I've been free of Norton since sometime in the late 90s. I trust Zone Alarm but they ticked me off with their slow response to Vista. I'd have to see Norton in action on someone else's machine and it would have to be an idential model to mine before I'd ever consider Norton again. |

I agree. I just dumped Trend Micro for OneCare. TM was fracked up and was a major drag on system resources. OneCare seems to be a great product that doesn't impact system performance. I also ditched Norton and McAfee years ago and will never go back. |

I've never understood why some idiots paid Micro$oft an extortion fee to protect themselves from that OS. LOL!
If they truly wanted protection, better to go with a 3rd party vendor that takes security seriously. Hell, some even offer that software for free!!! |

Yeah I would think they are trying to make it light like they did with Win 7. I think they are doing a good thing. |

The only problem I ever had with OneCare is that, if Microsoft is offering it, why isn't it integrated into the OS like IE is? It should be a standard component of the OS installation, not some addon that takes up resources separately. Also it didn't do nearly as good a job as others like AVG - yet Microsoft should be the best at making an antivirus. That's of course assuming the rumors are NOT true (that Microsoft actually stole the Windows code and silenced the original creator). If they know their code back and forth, why would they be unable to stop things from happening better than others? |

MShaft should stick to what it is good at and anti-virus software is not one of them! Read some reviews and get your head out of the clouds! |
