I'm testing this and it seems that if you let it do it's thing for a while
after the first boot it will not lock up. I tried twice to use the
computer
after the reboot and got the One call lock up. The third time I just let
it
do it's thing, just left the computer for an hour or so and everything is
fine now. They are working on the back ground stuff at the first boot,
right
now its priority is a little haywire, grabs too much CPU time at first.

tried this windowsonecare on one of my test boxes, looks good but not
ready
for prime time. Would lock up and not run. ( the program, not the puter )
wish it was a download so I could try it again after uninstall or on
another
test box without the mother may I routine, but I will anyway for grins.
<:-|
I uninstalled Norton Corp b4 but I wonder if that had some affect on this.
MS should concentrate on keeping windows stable and cheap and stay out of
the rest of it IMO
Would be nice for customer boxes if it works out.
