Windows Live Essentials is a bundle of nice free apps for Windows. Most of these programs, such as Mail and Movie Maker, were included as features in previous versions of Windows. Now these apps have been unbundled from Windows, ideally so they can be updated more frequently than Windows itself is. The latest version isn't fully ready for prime-time yet, but if you'd like to get started with them, you can download the new Beta today and try out the new tools for yourself.
