Source -According to an e-mail sent to its faithful beta testers, Redmond is planning to release the final version of Microsoft Security Essentials "in the coming weeks."
Late last night, Redmond fired off e-mails to testers of the Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) beta program on Microsoft Connect to tell them the final version of the product would be released to the public "in the coming weeks." That's right, it won't be long now before everyone can use the first release of Microsoft's free antivirus software on their Windows computers. In the e-mail, the software giant also made a point to ask testers to upgrade to the latest beta version, if they haven't already.
