4 out of 5 stars Windows One Care is all right   July 6, 2008
It may not be fancy or the best on the market but it works well with the operating system and does not slow my computer down like other products.
The periodic optimizing/backup feature is really nice.



2 out of 5 stars Microsoft's' Folly   July 6, 2008
It was quite a struggle to go through my Excel assignment. And not because of its complexity. But because of the Microsoft Live OneCare anti-virus & firewall.

While it was on, it would compromise collaboration features of Excel, besides bringing other havoc ! Only after a lot of hassle, like uninstalling the entire suit, I by chance run into the posting about apparent conflict of MS OneCare & Excel

I did have same problems with using certain features of QuickBooks software, but Intuit is Microsoft main competitor and it might not have much incentive to make its anti-virus software run with it. However it's inconceivable that the Microsoft's own anti-virus suit would be so incompatible with Microsoft's flagship application - Excel !

The reason I've changed from MacAfee to One Care is for greater compatibility, but what did I got ? However that's nothing new about Microsoft' modus operandi, my Zune isn't compatible with Microsoft's own DDR Format either.

It doesn't bring me joy to bash Microsoft, neither I am an Apple fanboy, but from what I am hearing from friends and family members who work at Microsoft, Microsoft is ruthless in criticizing its employees and automatically fire 10% of the bottom ranked employee, even if they do a satisfactory job.

Apparently this "dog-eat-dog" corporate culture, in which employees are expected to work overtime, and often are brought to tears by blunt remarks of their stressed-out bosses, doesn't help produce interoperable, reasonably bug-free products, in a timely fashion.

Perhaps adopting a more collegial, compassionate & less tense corporate culture would bring better results? Since employees who are treated with respect are much more likely to go an extra mile (like noticing & fixing bugs that they aren't responsible to notice & fix), than those who don't.



4 out of 5 stars MicroSoft OneCare   July 6, 2008
I purchased this program due to it being made by Microsoft, I felt since it was a MicroSoft program it shouldn't clash with the MSXP. It also was more reasonably priced than Norton which also seems to slow my pc down just is goes out of date.

Windows Live OneCare 2.0 stays unobtrusive requiring the least effort from the user. I installed it on two laptops with no additional cost. I limited backup to documents and never had to bother with it. I got tired of all the charges and reinstalling problems with Norton Symantec, McAfee and Kaspersky. I have not tried Panda.

5 out of 5 stars Windows Live OneCare 2.0   July 4, 2008
Received product in mail in a week after ordering. Received the $30 rebate in about a couple of weeks.

Since I already had Live OneCare installed and running no reinstall was needed. Simply used the product key that came with the package to renew my subscription.

Very easy to use.
