Windows Live OneCare 2.5 enters public beta

OneCare OneCare, the anti-virus/tune-up/back-up all in one program, has just opened up a public beta of version 2.5 (current released version is 2.0.2500.22, on my machine, anyway).  Anyone can go to Microsoft Connect and sign up and try the new beta, you don’t need to be signed in to get to the page:

Sign up for Windows Live OneCare 2.5 beta

Looks like there’s quite a list of countries available, no US only this time.  Not sure what the changes are from the released version, and there’s no information about changes on the public Connect site.

(thanks for the tip)

    I am in the OneCare Prepetual Beta, and I saw this same exact link on the OneCare Prepetual Beta site. Are you sure this is available to everyone?

    We received a tip and checked out the link, which did not require signing in to Connect, and is accessible to anyone. I have no idea what was either included or not included in the Perpetual Beta site (until now).
