I've been using it since last week on my systems, and I am very much enjoying the lack of disruptive prompts, quicker responsiveness of my systems, and yes... it's simplicity. You can really tell that Microsoft is making sure they get it right. As long as their detection rates stay as high as OneCare's have been over the past two years, we'll have ourselves a winner!

If your preferred browser region/languages is set to US/English it shouldn't restrict you from getting in (except for the 75000 limit)

If you do get the message about the beta not being available in your region you still might get in via go.microsoft.com/fwlink

Played around with it a bit. Seems very decent I like the simplicity.

Works in Germany very well too... Maybe they forgot to add it beacuse now it says also in the UK:

"This beta is available only to customers in the United States, United Kingdom, Israel (English only), People’s Republic of China (Simplified Chinese only) and Brazil (Brazilian Portuguese only)."
