The MSRTool is shipped with the Vista setup to get you a good start with the
new OS, to try and remove some of the main viruses you might have on your
machine. Windows Live OneCare is currently still in beta for XP SP2, and
technically there are no plans to ship it to Vista as yet...

But they will ) It'll be available for Vista around the time that Vista
RTM's next year.

Ahem, Zack was correct about Windows Live OneCare.

It was still in Beta as of May 31st; it came out of Beta June 1st. I have
been beta-testing it since its announcement, and I intend on continuing to
do so.

Well... it's out of beta now, but I wasn't to know about the program as I'm
not working on OneCare - OneCare is a Redmond thing, the projects I'm
working on in the UK are seperate, but still... )

Also, I think you might have been confusing the perpetual beta with the
actual released product. I am using both.

Yes you are:
"To thank its valuable beta customers and offer an easy transition to the
paid service, Microsoft also announced today a promotional deal offering the
first year of Windows OneCare Live service for $19.95 to beta customers who
become subscribers between April 1 and April 30, 2006."

The product came out of beta from March 2006 , but was not made commercially
available until June 2006, as noted above and in the link below.
