that security center thing is a load of crap...doesnt detect mcafee OR zonealarm and I cant get it to stop bugging me with balloon pop-ups about not having a firewall or antivirus program. sure you'll probably say that it's because its still in beta, and you are most likely right, just wanted people to see how its coming along :lol:

here is a screenshot of it:

Imo SP2 is going to be a nightmare. Even after it's officially released. SP2 is going break all sorts of 3rd party apps for sure.
