Performance of this suite is the best I've seen, and I've used products like Kaspersky and NOD32.
The ability to manage multiple PCs is a nice and simple capability, that I appreciate MS putting in.
The major downside I see right now is in its backup function, which is far too simplistic (and leaves out major components of 3rd party software - such as your Mozilla settings if you use Firefox and/or Thunderbird). This keeps me from giving it 5 stars.
This is the suite I'm presently using on my Vista 64-bit machines, and I see no reasons to look elsewhere at this point.
