Microsoft OneCare gets a bashing
Talkback I cannot believe that Microsoft would have us all pay for their flaws and bugs! Hello, If this were a car the manufacturer would be forced into a recall to make repairs. Perhaps it's time to rewrite the Digital Millennium Act and pass a new law I...

Microsoft OneCare gets a bashing
Talkback I praise microsoft for offering an 'optional' service to users who are not tech savvy enough to address security on their own pc's without assistance. Name one system that does not have security issues, even Firefox with 'more security than IE' has...

Microsoft OneCare gets a bashing
Talkback What's the difference between a subscription to antivirus support to Norton versus antivirus support to Microsoft? Other comments say: Microsoft shouldn't profit off its flaws. It's easy to pick on Microsoft.

Microsoft OneCare gets a bashing
Talkback If Microsoft didn't charge for this proposed service, then it is highly likely that they would get sued for anti comepitive practices. I pay for other antivirus products and do not see why Microsoft shouldn't charge for this type of product.

Microsoft OneCare gets a bashing
Talkback As a Mac user I don't know weather to laugh or cry ! No system or software is perfect but you would think that MS with all its money and programmers would be able to release software that didn't require constant monitoring to see if its safe.

Microsoft OneCare is your best protection. Really
Talkback With Microsoft you get promised a lot and you pay a lot. Past behaviour is a good indicator for future behaviour. Only to have to wait for it longer then expected and find it harder to maintain and keep secure then expected.

Microsoft OneCare gets a bashing
Talkback And to all you Microsoft partners out there that still can't see the signs on the wall. The only future Microsoft has is your grave. I say that vendor liability is the answer to many problems. I have to pay to secure an insecure product?

Microsoft makes OneCare free, for some
Talkback Second; I am not a OneCare users, but to the previous comment; it's rather common for security vendors to ask users to uninstall other products before installing theirs. Bit of sloppy text editing here.
