    Microsoft's AV success may lead to PR disaster?

    Microsoft launched its Windows Live OneCare antivirus package in the US earlier this year and instantly grabbed 15 percent of the market; although this may be good in terms of short term revenue, it could completely wreck everything the software giant has invested in improving its reputation for security.

Reviews (7)

  • Windows Live OneCare

    Windows Live OneCare is the first of many managed online security services to debut this year. We recommend waiting, then comparing the offerings from Symantec, McAfee, and other established security vendors before deciding on a managed online security service.

  • Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2009

    You can't beat the price. For a good, basic internet security suite, we recommend Trend Micro Internet Security 2009.

  • Norton 360

    For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.

  • Windows Vista Home Basic

    Windows Vista Home Basic is essentially warmed-over Windows XP, Windows XP SP3. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.

  • Windows Vista Ultimate

    Windows Vista Ultimate is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.

    Without consensus on labour issues, the eventual winner of the NBN may end up as little more than a lame duck and a cashed-up symbol of the conflict between the desire for progress and the lack of mechanisms to deliver it.
