Microsoft released beta versions of a new generation of Windows Live software designed for your Windows PC that makes it easier than ever to get connected to Windows Live or other services. This suite of software includes e-mail (Windows Live Mail), photo sharing (Windows Live Photo Gallery), a publishing tool that lets you post directly to your blog (Windows Live Writer), parental controls (Windows Live OneCare Family Safety), a new version of Windows Live Messenger (8.5), and more.
Starting today, you'll be able to install the entire suite of these downloadable Windows Live services at one time, from one place, instead of going through separate installations for each service. Of course, if you don't want the entire suite, you can still get each application individually.
"This new suite of applications is a new way that we can make connecting, communicating, and sharing anywhere a terrific experience on your Windows PC",said Chris Jones, Windows Live Team Vice President. "Together with our web services, we have a complete suite that combines the best of the Web and the best of Windows, and works the way you want."
If you are interested, you can download the new betas through the downloads tab.
