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.
