Just like the Internet... Other companies have already beat Microsoft there.

Is this worth loading on an old XP machine?

Having just spent the entire day wrestling with malware on an XP machine, I all too clearly realized why I have Apples at home. I have a message for Messrs. Gates and Ballmer:

SUCK IT.

GM could have used this program in the 70’s. That Microsoft is certainly forward thinking.

Microsoft implementing a program to improve PC OS reliability:

Or alternately, this is YOU when you install "security" product from the number one security hazard.

The free software can be downloaded from Microsoft's support pages.

Looks like they learned from their Windows OneLiveCare debacle: Don't charge extra for features that should be included in your friggin' OS in the first place!

Ooohh, FREE software from Microsoft. No strings attached! How great is that! /s

Seriously now, I have not had any significant problem with Win XP Pro in many years. It does the job and I’m happy with it. I’ll keep using it as long as possible.

But given the Orwellian times we live in, this particular offer raises a “Spyware/DRM” red flag with me.

Thanks, I’ll pass! No need for Trojan horses here!
