If by preview you mean we can see them before they're released, they're already out. If by preview you mean we can try them out, only AntiSpam 2005 has that option.
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore. -
They are already out?! Are you sure you aren't talking about beta, I was reading the section on Norton AntiVirus 2005 and it was suposed to ship out in October.

I stand corrected. My apologies. I could have sworn they'd already been released. Not sure what I was thinking.

Certainly a personal opinion (it is a "forum") and I know a lot of people use Norton products but I can't for the life of me understand why/how Norton got so popular. The software is overpriced (especially factoring in renewal fees), bloated, and conflict-prone. With free, low-overhead products like AdAware, Spybot, Kerio, AVG, etc. available, it's just a mystery to me.

Plus, as you mentioned, Peter Norton was considered a renegade "genius" years ago in the 386 / 486 days and has been able to secure a lot of corporate-level clients. I think that there are advantages for corporations staying with the Norton / McAfee camps and I would imagine the corporate versions must be better than the bloated home versions.

Some people have problems with the home editions, some people dont. :P I know that the chain of Best Buys around here use Norton.

Anyway, I did NOT see anything downloadable. IIRC, NAV 2004 Pro was available for download last year around the 25th of August.

Also IMHO, they've screwed the crap out of the license deal. I mean, $29.95 for one license and $89.95 for three? What the hell is that? Where's the discount?
