Bit of sloppy text editing here. Your story heading talks about 'hundreds of thousands of users' who will get access to the free beta, whereas, the quote in the text talks about 'hundreds OR thousands of users'. What one typo can do to the text.

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. Having two of the same security products installed usually creates quite a mess on your PC. That MS asks that before you even start downloading is a bit odd, but not really a security risk as far as I can see.
