  I have an active Live Onecare subscription. How much longer will Windows Live Oncare be available,,, and,,, after it's gone will it's replacement allow sharing a printer ? My problem is that my desktop is my primary computer for Live Onecare and we print from our laptop through our wireless router (the desktop is hardwired through the same wireless wire).

  No, Printer Sharing can be enabled and configured natively in Windows.
  

  Printer Sharing manually from Windows is also getting easier that it was in XP. There are some excellent tutorials out there for setting it up.

  If microsoft comes with a new security system, It will not affect you as firewalls work the same way. I would not be upset about it.
