McAfee

You are right, no one forces anyone to buy VISTA, but with all the hype, and
all the good reviews I read, VISTA is supposed to be excellent.

You could have used the time to go to Mcafee and get the Vista version which
has been out for ages now. Would have saved a lot of time in here.

I use Mcafee now on Vista Business.

Thanks Jase. I did email McAfee, they referred me to a phone number which
charges $2.95 per minute to ask them LOL

Microsoft does not develop McAfee products, McAfee does. "Jase", I suggest
you search this newsgroup for "best antivirus", "best security" and so on.
You will find buckets of opinions, some even informed ones, on what security
software to obtain. McAfee is rarely recommended...

Search Microsoft Vista Security newsgroup:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=...rosoft.

McAfee Online 2008 products are compatible with both 64 and 32-bit Vista,
the 2007 products were only compatible with 32-bit. However anyone buying
boxed CD would most likely need a Vista patch to enable compatibility.

Why? Because they say so?

No, they weren't.
