I have been using "One Care" on the Vista side of my partition and put in Morro this afternoon. Wow, what a difference. It is so much "lighter" and easier to use. Will probably switch over on the Win7 side where I'm currently running Avast tomorrow. Anyone have anything bad happen to them?

Seems nice, a Free Anti-Virus from MS.

Though too bad they won't be able to bundle. The EU would sue the crud out of them.

P.S. I don;t want to sound like a jerk for being the 500th person for asking, But can you send that PM?

It's no big deal. I'm sure they could provide links (much like their live suite of programs) and it'll be an easy quick download (if it's anything like the leaked version) from their website

You know, when you think about it, Microsoft should have done this a long time ago... I wonder why the decided to do this just now, and what the future holds for other AV companies

Microsoft has been doing good lately with remaking things.. lets see..

Windows 7 - A better, more stabile and faster OS.
Bing - Lets face it, Live sucked, this gives almost the same, if not more accurate results as google.
Morro - Better then OneCare so far, faster, small footprint, and works!
Zune HD - Not out yet, but for now I'm going to say it will be nice.

Windows 7 - I'm a power user (even though the forum disagrees )
Bing - I haven't typed "google.com" in over 3 weeks!
Morro - Bye AVG Free and Avast! Pro, Morro has taken over!
Zune HD - iHate my iTouch (actually, it's broken)

Windows 7 - I'm a tech enthusiast
Bing - Haven't used google for anything but to compare results
Morro - Agreed
Zune HD - You touched your iTouch the wrong way so it hurt itself =P

I was wondering why it wouldn't respond to my nails...

Windows 7 - I'm a 'On the Crisp edge" geek when i comes to software.
Bing - What's this Goooogle you speak of? That Primitive search engine? Yuck.
Morro - So awesome.
Zune HD - I love my Zune 80, I can't wait to make some apps for the Zune HD too!

I would assume Microsoft would put it on their page and it would be a first come first serve kind of thing (like the original W7 Beta was).

SO is this software any good? I'm very interested yet skeptical. Norton survives solely on its expertise of anti virus, malware, spyware, trojans, etc. It sounds to me that microsoft just copied windows defenders UI, which it did, and threw a few more anti's to the list. Anyone seeing any difference or liking it more than norton for example?

So far it has caught things on my system, that AVG didn't pick up prior.

It has a small footprint in the System Resources. I like it more then any AV. I'd try it out if I were you, if you don't like it you can just reinstall whatever you want for AV. =P

Why do people keep saying WSE looks exactly like Defender UI? IT DOES NOT! gawd. Probably never even used Defender in first place...
