Live One Care

[Guest]

Hi!
I am using Live One Care on my Vista-Laptop. Every now and then it tells me
that
"I have to do some action". That is inappropriate, as this is my computer
and I may decide if I want to do anything, but I am not as slave of microsoft
so that "I have to do something!"
Please respect, that your customers have paid for their computer and the
software and if they want - they can do anything with this device whatever
they choose by themselves!

What you say is true in one respect. It is your computer but a lot of
people are clueless when it comes to running computers and they need to
have their hands held. One Care is going to be used by a wide range of
people and imo a standard message had to be displayed which was simple
enough for everyone to understand. Microsoft cannot win for trying in
some cases and I think it's the age old saying of "you can't please all
the people all the time".

If a message is the only problem I suggest you ignore it and move on.

Tony... That's exactly why I terminated all of my "Live Onecare" s
Way too intrusive, and always in your face.
Seems to me these days, MS is doing a pretty good job of alienating a
lot of customers...

I was abruptly told that the discussion group for Windows Live One-Care was
only for XP users and not for Vista owners. Are you sure this is not an XP
Only discussion forum?

I would ignore any smart-ass that told you the OneCare discussion group is for
XP users only.

I also have OneCare on Vista x86, and I also get pop-ups reminding me to back up
and to turn on automatic updates, but I just ignore them and do not think they
are overly intrusive and objectionable. I consider them FRIENDLY reminders. I
am fully confident that I own and control my computer.
