Microsoft OneCare gets a bashing
Talkback My first reaction is that charging for OneCare is a bad idea. If Microsoft didn't charge for this proposed service, then it is highly likely that they would get sued for anti comepitive practices. This is like saying MS is obligated to relase...

Microsoft OneCare gets a bashing
Talkback The OneCare service has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with providing security patches for their product. I think some of these readers should step back from their Microsoft bashing and take some time to REALLY understand exactly what Microsoft are...

Microsoft OneCare gets a bashing
Talkback And if they do proceed to make people pay for their faulty software and this "OneCare", how many people are going to be switching to Mac and Linux. For Microsoft to charge anything for the faulty software should be a crime, all in itself.

Microsoft looking for OneCare testers
Talkback Surely someone at Microsoft must have realised how close "OneCare" is to the Word What a name! W*NK*R ! Someone, please email Bill!

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 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 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 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

Microsoft OneCare gets a bashing
Talkback Microsoft WOULD give us this stuff for free if it weren't for the U.S and E.U fining them billions of dollars for bundling software with their OS. Look at netscape, Boo Hoo we can't make any money desinging software for your operating system.
