Get Green Stay Green

A cute St. Patrick's Day tie-in from Microsoft...

This St. Patrick’s Day, Windows Live OneCare is reaching out to consumers through a new campaign designed to highlight the importance of securing and maintaining all the PCs in their home or small office, without relying on luck. Through the “Get Green Stay Green” campaign launching today, Microsoft is reminding the 57 percent of consumers who think maintaining a secure computer requires a great deal of time, that it doesn’t have to be a chore. Windows Live OneCare takes the hassle out of security, maintenance and back up, automating the process and providing users with a color-coded icon that, when green, tells users at a glance that their PC is protected, backed up and tuned up. To learn more, visit the campaign Web site at www.getgreenstaygreen.com.

I'd be using it, if it didn't disable functionality in Vista that I want to be able to use i.e. the built-in Defender interface.

OneCare 2.0 has the startup and process management stuff that Defender has.  Previous versions didn't.
