Microsoft has revealed the launching date for Windows Live OneCare 1.5. Designed to be integrated with Windows Vista, the Redmond Company is currently providing for Windows Live OneCare Beta (v1.5) in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, UK and the US.

And as Microsoft has announced January 30, 2007 as the official release date for Vista, the Windows Live OneCare Team has confirmed the same date for the launching of Live OneCare 1.5.

"The next generation of Windows Live OneCare (v1.5) will launch globally the same day Windows Vista rolls out to the general public. Because the new version of OneCare was designed with Windows Vista in mind, we think every homeowner and small business owner that purchases Windows Vista for their PC will like OneCare equally as much for its unified antivirus and antispyware filtering capabilities, and more backup options, not to mention the ongoing PC maintenance it provides," stated the Windows Live OneCare Team.

Users of pre-release versions of Vista as well as of RTM Build Vista can still download and use the beta variant of Live OneCare 1.5. "As the Windows Vista launch date nears, Microsoft will begin providing a special offer to Windows Live OneCare beta testers," added the Windows Live OneCare Team.
