Live OneCare
So stupid me bought Windows Live OneCare a few weeks back and then I decided
to put in Pre-RC1. OneCare immediately complained. I look at the box and it states for PC's with XP. Ok, my fault right? But wait a minute, I saw some advertisements on Vista pages on the MS site. So, am I missing something? |

Live OneCare
It is not supposed to be compatible until Vista RTM.

Live OneCare
When Vista RTMS, you'll have a good deal if not for the east backup to HD
or media, alone at $33 for 3 licenses, and the firewall team has said One Care's firewall will evolve toward being the same as Vista's if you do use it on any XP boxes. One care uses less resources, space and breaks a lot less than Norton. Why the company who always brags they "eat their own dogfood" and they are doing everything (all through the Beta) to get 3rd party hdw and software driver compatibility going with companies dragging their butts is dragging its butt with One Care, I have no idea. I haven't seen an explanation about One Care proferred from the softies. They are very quiet on the subject. Maybe they're waiting until Brad Smiths' girls and boys can finish with the Seattle federal suit in district court, but discovery could drag past Vista launch. The rush to push "Vista Whatevah It's real good" out the door RTMing it internally on October 25, 2006 and syncophantically christening Vista as "like so awesome" in Seattle yuppie buppie-ese to get it out the door will get you One Care installability on Vista soon--maybe.
