Today I received the mail from Microsoft stating that the Testers are given 60% off on the subscription of Windows Live One Care Subscription.The mail read as follows-

Thank you for participating in the Windows Live OneCare (v1.5) Beta! Your feedback, comments, and bug reports (!) have helped us improve the service and we are now in the final steps of releasing OneCare to consumers world-wide on January 30, 2007.

Beta to Close at End of February 2007

We wanted to give you advance notice that the (v1.5) beta will be coming to a close at the end of February, and that your OneCare beta service will expire by March 2007 (or sooner, depending when you installed the beta). After your service expires, you won’t receive new Virus and spyware definitions or other OneCare updates. To continue your OneCare protection, you will have to uninstall OneCare and then reinstall the released version of the product. We strongly urge you to do so. In fact, we feel so strongly about it that we’d like to extend this special introductory offer to make it easier…
