Just got my invitation for onecare, have downloaded and installed.

Running vista build 5744 RC2, Have been running onecare in all my other computers with XP. I think the product is great, like it better than Norton and McAfee. I am a system builder and recomend it to my customers.

Got my invitation too... Installed it on my XP sp2 and removed immediately! I cannot reach our server named FIREWALL in our TCP/IP network anymore. After removal everything is fine again.

My advice not to install on network connected workstations and wait for Forefront.

I had an experience similar to silfre above.  After I installed my copy on XP SP2, I was unable to VPN into my company network.  Removing the OneCare beta restored this capability for me.
