Microsoft has released a public beta version of its Microsoft Security Essentials package, giving users a sneak glimpse of what to expect from future releases. There are not a huge number of changes to speak of, but the release is an important advancement for a home-user friendly security suite that has gained a large following since it debuted. Microsoft Security Essentials 4 beta is available right now to anyone with a Windows Live ID.
There are some minor interface tweaks to be seen in the application, but it is the improvements to performance and the detection process that are most interesting. One of the concerns with running any security software is the potential for it to impact on system performance -- and this is one reason why many people simply do not bother installing security software. Performance tweaks help to reduce the strain on your system while it is protected.

In a monster blog post that would stretch the 640KB memory limit of early PCs, Microsoft has detailed the streamlined, just-11-clicks! upgrade process for Windows 8 — as in, the installer that appears when mom or pop insert a Windows 8 disc into their Windows 7 or Vista computer. Don’t worry if you’re a power user or IT admin, though: the reboot-into-installation-environment process is fundamentally unchanged, but 50% faster.
Basically, the Upgrade Advisor and Easy Transfer tools are being integrated into a single, end-to-end installer that’s capable of performing all of the preparatory tasks — compatibility checking, settings/files transfer, suspending blockers like BitLocker, and so on — and then carrying out the install. Additionally, the upgrader now has the option of downloading the Windows 8 installation files from the internet. This marks the first time that Microsoft has offered a consumer-oriented digital download of its Windows OS — and obviously might have been inspired by OS X Lion’s availability in the digital Mac App Store.
