Next generation of Windows Live application suite now available

Microsoft has rolled out an updated version of its Windows Live suite of internet applications for Windows. The suite has been renamed Windows Live Eseentials, and includes Windows Live Messenger, Mail, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Toolbar, and Writer, as well as Silverlight and a Family Safety app for filtering your children's internet access.
The versions released today aren't dramatically different from the Windows Live Wave 3 apps we told you about last month. But Microsoft says the latest beta refresh means that the company is almost ready to take the beta label away and say that the Windows Live Essentials apps are ready to call final.
There is, however, a rather lengthy list of known issues, especially for users who are running Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2. So you might want to check out the release notes and system requirements before installing Windows Live Essentials.

They keep changing services names again and again... #_#
Btw, what about the old Windows Live suite that we have already installed? Should we uninstall it and install the new version?

I am seriously fed up of M$ Updates..... My FolderShare stops working every month and says "Version too old to connect" !!!
Cant keep downloading updates all day.... More time is spent on installing updates rather than using the PC !!

I can't seem to get Windows Live Writer (which is a dream to blog with) to work with WordPress 2.7 Does anyone know if this update addresses that?
