sorry but I did have to sign a nondisclouser form to beta test it. So I won't be able to post any screen shots or comment on the product.
But so far I think it is going to be a good setup once out of beta and the final release is out.

Its Nortons answer to McAfee TotalProtection and Microsoft Onecare.

Antivirus, firewall,antispyware, clean up tools and stuff like that.

Not sure if it is replacing Norton SystemWorks. Since Norton Recycle Bin and Norton Utilities were missing from Norton 360.
