Windows Live Suite Coming Sometime This Week

Recommended: Click here to check for outdated driversLooks like Microsoft is ready to unveil its promised Windows Live suite this week.
Microsoft officials said in June they would make a common installer and updater available for a handful of its Windows Live services. According to story in The New York Times, the products in the suite will be: Windows Live Messenger 8.5, Windows Live Hotmail, Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Live OneCare Family Safety. (The Times is unclear whether Windows Live Writer is in there, too. But it looks like it might be.)
The Times describes the suite as “the first full release of Windows Live that is intended to produce a ‘relatively seamless’ experience between the different services and applications.”
With the suite, Microsoft is hoping to get users of its more popular Live Hotmail and Live Messenger to try out other members of its Live family. Company officials have said they plan to enable the Windows Live family to make use of more common facilities (like a shared Live Contacts list) and to integrate more tightly with one another over time.

does this mean that wlm 8.5 will be out of beta by the time the suite will be released?
seriously, i'm pissed off at microsoft, i've been a tester for wlsuite, everything is
buggy, old graphics from outlook express in wlmail, wlphoto gallery won't even install.
we've only had 1 beta for each (there was a test update for messenger via windows update
but it was only to test the system no actual fixes) i just hope they've fixed all the
many bugs we found/suggested in connect. even though almost every suggestion ended in the
'no, but we may look into this at a later date'
who cares about microsoft? get a life of your own :)
couldn't agree more with you karpa. the sensationalism that comes with fvcking ms is
bordering on absolute madness. i mean for fvcks sake...
it's just one let down after another really, when they could embrace our opinions,
talents and knowledge.
'does this mean that wlm 8.5 will be out of beta by the time the suite will be
released?'
i have just downloaded it and yes, wlm 8.5 is no longer beta. the
full version is 8.5.1288.816
emm, this reminds me of msn explorer.
very bad
