I am planning to purchase a new Dell computer next month with Vista Business
and am trying to get an overall understanding of the various programs from
MS that can be added to Vista. I probably will go with Windows Live Mail.
However, I am having difficulty understanding what Windows Live OneCare will
do for my new computer other than the Anti-Virus protection. As I
understand it, Vista Business already comes with a firewall, malware, and
backup and restore programs.

I would very much appreciate an explanation for this Vista to be newbie
owner as to what advantages Windows Live OneCare would provide to a
computer. Also, would appreciate any comments as to how effective the
Anti-Virus program in Windows Live OneCare is compared to third party
programs such as NOD32, etc. Thanks, Sam.
