Gerald, Thanks for reaffirming what I thought I knew. You are right with these other packages, half the time you get them and can't use them due to not being accessible

You are absolutely correct abot MSE replacing Live Onecare. This salesman was probably pushing a paid security package which is probably not as effective as MSE and might not even be JAWS accessible. MS has stated publicly that it has no plans to charge for MSE.
