Windows Live Essentials (including Messenger) Wave 3 final

Last night at CES 2009, Steve Ballmer made a ton of announcements. One of them was the final release of the Wave 3 release of Windows Live Essentials over at download.live.com.

Windows Live Essentials, which refers to the suite of Windows Live client applications (as opposed to web services), consists of a long list of software: Messenger, Mail, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Writer, Toolbar, Family Safety, Office Live Add-in, and Silverlight. Movie Maker beta is the only application that is not checked by default, likely due to the fact that the team couldn't finalize it in time for the release.

Thanks for the article Slimy, I wont have to bother doing the download as I did it in December and I'd already got the latest Silverlight, I loved looking at that Hard Rock Memorabilia with it

I think that's one bad looking WLM. :/

i like the new versions, a lot more responsive than their predecessors, especially live mail.

moviemaker 2.6 much better than moviemaker live

mm live has no timeline or storyboard, looks like MS is trying to kill moviemaker, which is a fine little free program

I can't even get Movie Maker to run. It keep crashing the nvidia drivers(179.xx) and my screen flickers.

I guess that's why it's the only one they didn't let out of beta :/
