that was the managed beta. Which I am part of.

I've been installing the OneCare beta on clients machines for a few months with nothing more than going to that website...

I'm not in the managed beta, and I've been using it for months... as with many other people on this forum... all downloaded from Microsoft...

Edit : Here is one such post from November 30th.

You can all have cookies for knowing about it for me, so let's put aside quibbling over the dates and discuss the merits and implications of this now :)

It's great program. realtime virus protection, enhanced firewall, automatically updating itself, and tune ups. combine it with MS Antispyware, and you have a safe computer with little-to-no effort.

If Mcafee is better than this thing... then it is terrible.

How much do people think the subscription is going to be once officially released?

I am wondering the same thing. Microsoft better make it free.
