Free for non-home use?

I don't disagree with what Stu has said. I do think, though that you will
be free to use the released version of what we are testing in an office. My
guess is that Microsoft will charge for a package that will include an
administrative console and easy control of client settings via Group Policy.
I don't have a clear picture of what that will look like, but I don't think
there'll be any hard and fast rule that says only for individuals, or not
for use in an office.
 
From Steve Dodson:
As we have been saying since day one, Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware will be
available at no charge to licensed users of Windows. Users who validate
their Windows install through WGA will be allowed to download the
AntiSpyware beta, as well as the full standalone version of AntiSpyware when
it releases to the web. This has not changed since Bill Gates announced this
information at the RSA conference in February. The enterprise version of
Windows AntiSpyware is targeted to companies who want to centrally manage
their Windows AntiSpyware infrastructure. The enterprise version of Windows
AntiSpyware will be available for a cost (which has not been determined
yet). For users who want more services including AntiVirus, computer
backup, and AntiSpyware we will be offering Windows OneCare live. Windows
OneCare Live is currently in beta, but when it releases to the web it will
be available to users with a cost.

There are many exciting security offerings coming from Microsoft over the
next year and I am just glad they let me blog about these exciting things
happening at Microsoft!
