No, Windows Live Onecare is not supported, supported should be available
sometime after Vista RTMs.

Vista AntiVirus Partners:

need Antivirus software, are there any out there for Windows Vista BETA 2?
You are in luck, here are few recommended choices:
Computer Associates eTrust
http://www.my-etrust.com/Microsoft/vista/default.aspx
here are 2 others:

Avast 4.7 32-bit

Trend Micro

run "Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON" from an elevated command prompt
on Vista x64 (Thanks Barb Bowman for the tip)

While yammering about how hard they are trying to get driver support for
Vista, MSFT hasn't been able to get WOC Live team to get it compatible with
Vista in a year. Many AV apps are compatible with Vista and you should be
able to find them by searching this group.

Andre,
Do you know for sure that OneCare will indeed be Vista compatible at some
point?
I had heard that it would never be because most of it's components are
already included in Vista.
I hope what I heard is not true because I really like OneCare and the fact
that it is all in one nice little package so to speak.

Never mind.
I found the answer.
It eventually will be compatible.
I'm glad to find out you are correct!

In Chats, the teams associated with WOC and Defender have repeatedly said it
will be compatible.

On their blog the WOC Live team has repeatedly said it will be compatible

They have not agreed though to stop dragging their ass in making it
compatible.

It's a good deal--just for the backup feature alone at the price with 3
licenses. The fact it's still not compatible with Vista after a year is
inexcusable but typical.

Chad:
I think part of the problem is trying to make it x64 compatible
because Vista will have x86 & x64 versions.

They've told us Windows One Care will eventually be supported on Vista. No
date, though.

Good to know.

Thanks, Nancy!

You may well be right. X64 has presented compatibility problems that are
far ranging for apps and drivers, but they will be well worth what comes in
its wake in the next few years.

Not Supported.

Just in case this hasn't been mentioned, Release canidate 1 asks you if you
would like to sign up for windows live onecare beta 1.5, and that will be
available for vista.

Just in case this hhasn't been mentioned, Vista RC1 gives the option to sign
up for Live onecare beta 1.5. That I am assuming will be the beginning of
vista support.

Where? I never saw it in two installs.

Welcome Center - Sign up online for Windows Live OneCare

Takes you to a page to sign up for beta 1.5... which, after you enter your
email addr tells you that you'll get an email when the beta is released...

Oh well, I guess I was as dumb as I thought I was smart. I thought I
knew it al and disabled the welcome screen.
