I am testing it and, so far, haven't had any problems. To be honest it is
really for the basic user. While I am testing it, it will not be a permanent
fixture on my machine when the software is finally released. One annoyance
at the moment is the fact that Microsoft PC Advisor, when first installed,
tells me that my phishing filter is turned off when, in fact, it is turned
on by default. I've gone through both Beta 1 and Beta 2 and still this
hasn't been fixed.
In the end it all depends upon whether you want to be told that your
phishing filter is actually turned off or that you haven't enabled system
restore or parental guidance features. The software suits the 'newbie' but
it certainly isn't much use to anyone with a modicum of PC knowledge
Having said that I do have to agree with both Ken and Kerry regarding the
installation of beta software. Beta software is best installed on a test
machine rather than a production machine.
