Re: What about new bugs?
With the way things go with MS, my bet is the cd will have a virus on it plus the fixes. Good lucking figuring out which is which. |

| I have never never seen microsoft give anything away for nothing,there has to be a reason..Think how much this is costing them
millions of people will jump at this,their not even charging S+H..
I wouldn't trust them, I want to pick out my own updates,you don't know what's on that disk,people say that it's good if your buying a new machine,when I got my machine I had the latest updates ,any good place will do that. Mine was stamped the day they built it,updates the next day and shipped the following day..Of course I will get it to have,but won't use it..I'll wait for the same people that are saying how great it was getting something for nothing complain about it .In this world you don't get anything for nothing except spy-ware.Just my 2 cents. |

| It's no different than AOL shipping out all those CDs, with no guarantee that anyone will sign up. Not to mention Microsoft is in a much better position to lose money. Besides, if they get nothing else from it, it's great PR. Look, Microsoft cares so much about it's users it will ship this out for free. I am sure that is what their marketing dept is thinking anyway.

And free trials always lead to an offer to buy. Sarick you might be onto something. |

I think it's EZtrust Armor,it's free for a year..Then you have to pay..
I had it on my laptop at work,I kept getting a true vector error,come to find out it's the virus engine..Uninstalled the program,no more blue screen of death..I think the CD is mostly to help dial-up people that can't ever get it right downloading those big updates,the screensaver will come on, knocked off line,many reasons. |
