Office Pro Microsoft ready to launch beta of its f

Last drop, Microsoft introduced its intentions to deliver a no cost replacement for its OneCare antivirus/anti-malware item for Windows Pc customers. Given that then, provider officials repeatedly have refused to supply any a lot more information on Morro;s position (over and above the promised Q2/Q3 2009 launch date).It could stand to reason that date have to be shut, considering that Microsoft has been getting rid of OneCare in the channel for the past couple of months. And, as 1 of my viewers mentioned currently:“I thought OneCare was supposed to die in June, and working for a small business, I;m trying to figure out if we can play wait-and-see on it or if we really desire to plunk down $1k for antivirus licenses for everybody. (Perfect now we;re not running anything! Eek!)”Yes,Office Pro, reader, OneCare is only available at retail through June 30, 2009. But I haven;t been able to get Microsoft to give any guidelines on when and whether the corporation planned to launch a public or private external test build of Morro. (I ask periodically, to no avail.)However, Reuters seemed to have more luck:“A Microsoft spokesman said on Wednesday (June 10) that the world;s biggest software maker is testing an early version of the item with its own employees. Microsoft would ;soon; make a trial version, or product beta, available via its website, he added, but declined to offer a specific date.”Morro is being marketed by the Windows Client team, but is being developed by Microsoft;s Forefront security team and is based on the Forefront antivirus/anti-malware engine. Microsoft;s reasoning for going from a paid subscription service to a free Morro client: By getting Morro on all consumer PCs, especially those whose users may not have the money or interest to run antivirus/anti-malware software, that it will be able to better secure the entire Windows ecosystem,It sounds as though Microsoft may have told some bloggers/press about its rollout plans for Morro under non-disclosure. So I wouldn;t be surprised to see the Softies supply the Morro beta in the coming days…What are you hoping/expecting to see in Morro?
