Microsoft kills OneCare...

Microsoft today announced plans to kill its Windows Live OneCare PC care and security suite and replace it with a free anti-malware utility.

The new product, code-named “Morro,” will be designed for a smaller footprint that will use fewer computing resources, making it ideal for low-bandwidth scenarios or less powerful PCs, Microsoft said its surprise announcement.

I know, hard to beleive. But we cant have the better of both worlds so it will be smaller and MORE useless.

Wow, I can't believe they dropped OneCare already.. seemed like they were just getting it off the ground!

OneCare was a pretty bloated entry, I'm not that surprised that they dropped it. I don't know anyone that used it.
