Steven VanRoekel, senior director of Windows Server Product Solutions, and I discussed the new product in a Microsoft Watch podcast posted today. "This is something new," VanRoekel said. "Windows Live OneCare for Server is a one-year server anti-virus engine." The software will be bundled with Small Business Server and Essential Server 2008 editions, along with a one-year subscription to Forefront for Exchange. "We've taken a different tact on connecting subscription services with the core infrastructure," VanRoekel said about the bundling.
I asked if Microsoft planned to extend Windows Live OneCare for Server bundling to the desktop. "No. We're not doing any client AV with this wave. We think that's part of the partner opportunity with the product," VanRoekel said.
