Today, we shipped Windows Defender (Beta 2) for German speaking markets
including Germany
(http://www.microsoft.com/germany/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx)
and Switzerland
(http://www.microsoft.com/switzerland/athome/de/security/spyware/software/default.mspx).
We're also close to launching our Japanese version for additional coverage
in Asia so be on the lookout for that announcement. Windows Defender has
been available in the English speaking markets for quite a while now and we're
proud to make Windows Defender (Beta 2) available to help protect computers
against spyware and other potentially unwanted software in more of our
international markets. Although German and Japanese will be the only
languages we localize to for our Beta 2, we remain very committed to all our
international customers and plan to release localized versions of our RTM
release into all the major languages. We're looking for folks to help test
our localized Beta 2 versions in preparation for our final English locale
release in the second half of 2006 followed by our localized releases, so
get out there and install the German Windows Defender and give us your
feedback by posting to our newsgroups
