According to the press release “Morro” will have a smaller footprint and be lighter on computing resources than OneCare.
A big difference for users is that it will be a free stand-alone download, no charge to consumers.
Windows Live OneCare will continue to be sold for Windows XP and Windows Vista at retail through June 30, 2009. Direct sales of OneCare will be gradually phased out when “Morro” becomes available. Regardless of their method of purchase, Microsoft will ensure that all current customers remain protected through the life of their subscriptions.
