Get all these programs, or just a few—they’re free!

I got update form Microsoft, and I was impressed with the new programs they provided me with. I want to share with you about them.

Here is the list of programs:

  • Windows Live Mail
  • Windows Live Photo Gallery
  • Windows Live Toolbar
  • Windows Live Family Safety
  • Windows Live Movie Maker Beta
  •  ... and I already had Windows Live Writer
I will write little about each program, start from the first.

Windows Live Mail is a program that gives you ability to download, read and write emails on your computer. I use it with my hotmail.com account, and it works great! Also, you can sync calendar events, contact, feeds, and newsgroup.

Windows Live Photo Gallery, actually, I was really amazed with this software. This is your picture gallery where you can organize, fix, publish, email, print, view as slide show and many more extras. I would really recommend this software because of its compatability with Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Movie Maker Beta, even with Windows Live Writer. Also, Live Photo Gallery has really improved fix function, and one grate thing is ability to crate panoramic photos. Also, you can add some plug-ins like LiveUpload to Facebook, that makes it easy for anyone to upload their photos to Facebook.

Windows Live Toolbar, you always have quick access to Windows Live and Live Search, no matter where you are on the web. My favorite tool is the ability to sync favorites from Internet Explorer be able to use the from any computer that has Windows Live Toolbar.

With Windows Live Family Safety, you can decide how your kids will use the Internet. You can limit searches, block or allow websites, decide who your kids can communicate with when they’re using Windows Live Messenger, Hotmail, or Spaces and monitor what websites they're visiting. Great tool for parents!

Windows Live Movie Maker Beta gives you ability to create movies from your pictures and video clips, and share them with your friends and family by publishing it on the web.
