Microsoft launches OneCare 2.0 - or does it?

Posted Nov 16 2007, 07:03 AM by Kip Kniskern with 7 comment(s)

Microsoft announced in a press release on Wednessday night the release of OneCare 2.0, the latest version of the Anti-Virus/backup/computer maintenance offering from Windows Live.  Only now it's Thursday night and http://onecare.live.com is still offering up version 1.6.  Clearly something has happened, but whether its just some miscommunication between PR and operations (hey, it happens), or some last minute glitches are holding things up, we're not sure.

We'll be keeping an eye out for the latest bits - but if you receive either an update to your retail 1.6 version or are able to download and install 2.0 from the retail site, let us know.  Leave a comment or, as always, tips and feedback are much appreciated.

Update: Thanks for the tips, guys.  Looks like OneCare 2.0 is available for download - have at it.  Anyone seeing upgrades from v. 1.6?

It is called a rolling update...not everyone gets the bits at once.

Windows Live Oncare v2.0 is out &ready for D/L, not schilling but great program have beta tested from the first OneCare managed beta. It has came a long ways and if you have 1.6 like ^ said must uninstall before installing still have trouble use onecare utilityzip to clear out everything. but yep they sent me an email saying that the beta was ending and I could puchase at a discount but I'm a pert. beta tester so they messed up but anyhow well worth the money
