You know, they haven't made any of those yet for Vista which is disappointing. Of course they need to start working on Ultimate Extras for the Vista users out there who forked out a lot of money!

From the OneCare site, "Help get peace of mind knowing that everything is managed for you—virus and spyware scanning, firewalls, tune-ups, file backups, the whole nine yards. And it's all delivered to you in a smooth, hassle-free package." That's right, the while nine yards.While I agree a lot of this should be in windows I don't think it's out of place in OneCare.Besides, when your antivirus product is nearly worthless you have to add value some other way. ;) Well, the name isn’t “Microsoft Antivirus” it’s OneCare.
