Microsoft has been sponsering a free version of Etrust antivirus for quite some time.

It is free to use for a year.

Microsoft uses Etrust on for all its computers and servers on its own corporate network.

So I feel very confident using it.

Can't wait to see what these goodies are.

You have to consider the source, right? Oh I know most of this pack is thirdparty stuff but knowing Microsoft they'll throw some bloat in for good measure:D:D Still, I'll check it out...

I was just wondering the same thin:huh:h:

[mariusu]

i wonder what will be included in "the pack"? :shifty:

[edbro]

This is confusing because they already have a program called Action Pack for Partners. Does not appear to be the same thing at all. This looks like the combined Plus Packs.

[Marduk]

Could be good! Who knows?

[Colin-uk Veteran]

if its free i,ll take it :D

Thanks (Y)

[b0m8er]

They make me to download some kind of update - but I already have .NET Sp1, DX9c, IE6SP2.

Is there a way to bypass installing this update once again?

b0m8er: The package Adds:

Managed DirectX 9c

Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redist

[b0m8er]

Is J#.Net different from .Net? And I have direct X 9c installed already. Is it some kind of updated version?

Its not DirectX 9c, it is another different package Managed DirectX 9c... I don't know WTF the difference is.

I think J# .Net is Microsofts Java Development platform... May just be some runtime lib's

Don't know though

[edbro]

Anybody know what "Microsoft USB Flash Drive Manager" is?

[dougkinzinger]

Looks rather worthless to me.
