  OneCare Was Not a Failure, Microsoft Exec Says
Time: 00:09 EST/05:09 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Critics asserting that Windows Live OneCare didn't succeed on its own have got it wrong, according to Microsoft's chief security advisor for the EMEA region. Roger Halbheer, in a blog posting on Monday, said it was "nonsense" for anyone to suggest that Microsoft's consumer antimalware security solution had somehow "failed."

Last month, Microsoft announced that it planned to discontinue OneCare while simultaneously saying it would offer a free antimalware solution code-named "Morro." OneCare is priced at $49.95 per year, but Halbheer noted that many people just cannot afford the extra amount, especially in newer and arguably poorer markets.

"it was "nonsense" for anyone to suggest that Microsoft's consumer antimalware security solution had somehow "failed." Sure, it just didn't succeed. From the beta to the final release OneCare was highly ineffective. Why do they waste resources trying to do everything? Stick with what you are good at MS, and get Windows 7 advances into Vista SP2 please. We will appreciate it.
