Vista - Windows Live OneCare?

Hi,

Anyone tryed installing Win Live OneCare, which I actually for XP i think,
but I'm looking for anti-virus for Vista seens MS only include a Firewall
atm lol.

cheers,

No, Windows Live Onecare is not supported, supported should be available
sometime after Vista RTMs.

While yammering about how hard they are trying to get driver support for
Vista, MSFT hasn't been able to get WOC Live team to get it compatible with
Vista in a year. Many AV apps are compatible with Vista and you should be
able to find them by searching this group.

Andre,
Do you know for sure that OneCare will indeed be Vista compatible at some
point?
I had heard that it would never be because most of it's components are
already included in Vista.
I hope what I heard is not true because I really like OneCare and the fact
that it is all in one nice little package so to speak.

Never mind.
I found the answer.
It eventually will be compatible.
I'm glad to find out you are correct!

In Chats, the teams associated with WOC and Defender have repeatedly said it
will be compatible.

On their blog the WOC Live team has repeatedly said it will be compatible

They have not agreed though to stop dragging their ass in making it
compatible.

It's a good deal--just for the backup feature alone at the price with 3
licenses. The fact it's still not compatible with Vista after a year is
inexcusable but typical.

Chad:
I think part of the problem is trying to make it x64 compatible
because Vista will have x86 & x64 versions.

They've told us Windows One Care will eventually be supported on Vista. No
date, though.
