The two year venture of Windows Live One-Care $50 Subscription Based service is going to be abandoned in favor of a new free alternative code-named "Morro".  Microsoft has really been trying to improve its image as of late, due to the mostly untrue accusations about Vista.  The compamy has had an open ear lately when it comes to bettering its image and is also offering this free alternative to protect from the viruses, spyware and malware provided by internet meanies.  The software will not be included in Windows 7 when it launches in late 2009, but will be available via download for those that want it.  Hopefully we see more free offerings from Microsoft that improve the experience of their next OS and improve its reputation.
