Windows One Live:

I actually researched this. I checked out what was being said on the web and I didn't find anything that wasn't beyond the usual blabbering about hated M$ software. I installed it on a new laptop that housed my VS 2005 environment. Man I was excited. The back up utilities, the automatic clean up and so on. I started by scanning my laptop for viruses. All was good. I then proceeded to set up the back up utility. Hmmm, no ability to use a mapped drive that I have connected to my main machine in my home network. Windows offers a wizard to create home networks yet their software doesn't permit the use of them... OK I overlooked this as an oversight and moved on. I continued for several months until I noticed that my machine was SLOW. It was brand new and this software was supposed to keep it clean. I started looking at the processes and noticed one that seem to always jump up and grab many of my cpu cycles. Guess what, it was the windows one live antivirus software. I quickly open up the console and search for the options to exclude folders from realtime scans, there isn't one. This is the point when I knew I was unistalling the software and going to my old standby NORTON. Too bad that they followed their typical build and rebuild process on this, they now have lost me as I will likely not want to reset all the scheduling and such.

Anyways that my .02
