Microsoft Release OneCare Early!!! (By a day)

So, it looks like M$ has released their version of ZoneAlarm called OneCare a day early, according to PCWorld. This is the list of things it can do: "OneCare includes firewall, antivirus, and backup software, as well as Microsoft's Windows Defender antispyware technology, which is still in beta form. The product also handles routine maintenance tasks such as defragmenting the hard disk and cleaning up unused temporary files".

Am I missing something here or doesn't Windows already defrag your hard drive, and clean up temp files? And as for everything else, why would one pay for it when you can get ZoneAlarm firewall for free, and AVG Anti-Virus for free?
