I followed the above link and saw this among the comments:
"1. Doesn't seem fully available yet! Alert! Thank you for your interest in joining the Microsoft® Security Essentials Beta. We are not accepting additional participants at this time. Please check back at a later date for possible additional availability."
But I didn't have any problem downloading it. I haven't installed it, though. My prference is ESET NOD 32 Antivirus.
I use another popular-make of (paid subscription)... This is a handly link if I ever require a free-AV (which, presumably, might be half-decent and doesn't nag)
I use Bullguard. I have found it to be an excellent product, including spamfilter, anti-virus, pop-up blocker, firewall and anti-spyware modules. At AUD$35 for a 3-machine licence, I run it on all 13 of my computers, including portable devices and servers.
Until I've seen an MS product working and stable for at least 12 months I'm unwilling to trust them to have done sufficient testing to have made it properly reliable.
Nothing they've ever released was effective and working properly until at least Service Pack 2, in my experience.

I'd agree, but (not having installed it yet) it may be based on MS Defender - In which case it's at "version 2"!
