In an email sent to Windows Live OneCare testers, Microsoft confirmed the imminent start of the OneCare 2.0 beta program. Designated as a “pre-premiere”, OneCare 2.0 will not be available as a public beta initially.
New features we should be seeing include:
- Multi PC management – designate a hub PC and then add additional PCs to your OneCare circle using a common Windows Live ID. You can then see the status of the other PCs within the group.
- Printer Sharing – share your printer with all the PCs in your OneCare circle
- OneCare Online Photo Backup – paid storage is available online for photo backups (we’re hearing 10GB but that could change by the end of the beta)
- Securing wireless networks – if your router is supported OneCare 2.0 will allow you to secure your wireless network.
- X64 support.
