One Care 2.0

Can someone explain to me why One Care 2.0 doesn't work on 64 bit Vista? 64
bit is the future, and this is Microsoft's own product! What is wrong with
this picture?

Exactly. 64bit is the future, not the present. For programs, including
Anti-virus etc, this web site is a good place to look.

One Care is maybe not the best solution anyway

I don't understand what you mean? The last beta of OneCare 2.0 I tried works
on Windows Vista x64 although it hung up my system. I personally believe its
not quite there yet, but to say it does not work on the OS is not true.
64-bit is the future, but remember the 32 bit architecture has been around
for the past 20 years, transitions take time. Rumor is future Windows client
will even be available in 32-bit flavors. Microsoft started pushing 64 Bit
Windows in the mainstream in 2005, the second consumer oriented Windows 64
bit just came out in January, the industry is still trying to get and
running with its 32 bit counter part.

The beta worked, but when I installed the final release, it said that 64 bit
was an unsupported operating system. That just makes no sense to me.

64 bit operating systems aren't all that new anymore. Microsoft needs to
push the public more towards 64 bit systems, otherwise everyone will remain
stuck on yesterdays technology. People resist change so they need to be
nudged.

But it does work on Vista x64, somethings wrong with your PC:

Make sure you are installing as an Administrator, disable UAC temporarily.

The latest beta does work in X64. Stay on top of developments.

I'm more on top of it than you are. The beta works on x64. The final version
doesn't.

Based on Andre's suggestion, I downloaded the installer again and tried to
run it. It got farther this time. It stopped and said that there was another
instance of the Windows installer running and couldn't go on. ERROR CODE
0044-8007062. I restarted and tried it again. Same deal. I am not installing
anything else. What is the deal with this thing? How can I get it installed?

OneCare 2.0 *does* work on Vista x64.

It was released on Friday. Prior to 11/16, the installer was for 1.6, which was
not able to be installed on Vista x64.
