Beta for Next Version of Microsoft Security Essentials Now Available

[alphanumeric]

This is a quote from a Microsoft e-mail I just recieved that might interest you.


Notice to Windows® Home Server customers: Microsoft Security Essentials Beta is not supported on Windows Home Server (WHS). Beta testers who have installed Microsoft Security Essentials Beta on WHS should consider uninstalling Microsoft Security Essentials Beta to avoid potential incompatibility problems. Those who plan to beta test Microsoft Security Essentials Beta unsupported on WHS should wait until the next Windows Home Server update rollup currently scheduled to occur on or about September 1, 2010
Thanks again for participating in the Microsoft Security Essentials Beta.
Best regards,
The Microsoft Security Essentials Team

I wonder if they will release a version for Home Server you have to pay for...

Yeah i got that also . But i am running MSE on my WHS v1 with no problems where before the beta it wouldn't even load.

It probably works fine, somebody just forgot to block the install on WHS. Once they discovered the loophole they issue a statement to cover their ass in case it doesn't work as advertised. I bet its blocked from installing on a server OS in the final release. They'll want you to pony up for the corp version.
