Secure Screens with Microsoft OneCare.

Watch out for this if you're thinking of putting one-care on your UMPC (or any touchscreen device for that matter.)

Thoughtfix at Ultramobilegeek.com had some problems with his eo. Installing the Windows OneCare security packages disabled his touchscreen.

I have a feeling that Kevin Tofel of jkOnTheRun uses OneCare on his Q1. Maybe Thoughtfix should drop the guys a line. I'd certainly be interested because I'm due for a renewal on my Anti-Virus software and I won't be buying Kaspersky again. So far I've heard nothing but good reports about OneCare and at $50 for 3 PC's it's also good value.

I've been using OneCare on my Q1 since late May of 06. No issues at all.

Same here; I've used OneCare since it was in beta and have had it running on the Samsung Q1 since late May without any issues. I do remember that manually running Windows Update / Microsoft Update caused me to lose the screen rotation functionality. A simple re-install of the Intel graphics driver resolved that. Shouldn't be an issue with the eo as that unit doesn't support screen rotation.
