Microsoft is understood to have invited beta testers to try out a new product offering a series of online applications in a single bundle.
News of the forthcoming Windows Live Essentials has leaked onto the web via independent blogs. A post on the ActiveWin.com website apparently quotes a Microsoft e-mail inviting people to apply to beta test the new product.
It describes Windows Live Essentials as a way to get the bundle of Windows Live online services - e-mail, instant messaging and security – as a single, simple download. Comments added by readers compare the product to the Google Pack bundle of free software.
The product also includes a Windows Live Dashboard, offering a view of the services the user already has and any new services available.
The emerging product looks set to step up rivalry with Google, which this week launched a beta of its new Apps for Your Domain service, adding free productivity applications – including instant messaging, a calendar application and website design software – to its hosted domain service.

Today marks the day that Time Warner and Associates finally made the right move.

Honestly I must say thanks, but no thanks! In the begining, I was one of those victims that use to use AOL religiously. Until I became internet savy and figured that I don’t have to pay for email and then thats when I switched to MSN. That was back in 1998 when High Speed Connection was only available in certain neighborhoods. (more…)
