Microsoft has released the final version of Windows Live Essentials 2011.

As Neowin exclusively revealed earlier today, the software giant has released the final edition to the web.

The complete package comes just over a month after a beta refresh was issued on August 17. Microsoft originally released a Windows Live Essentials beta on June 24. Essentials includes the popular programs Windows Live Movie Maker, Mail, Messenger, Writer, Sync, and Family Safety. The Windows Live team has aimed to ensure that the next version of Windows Live Essentials takes advantage of Windows 7 fully. All applications now use the new ribbon UI and integrate further into Windows 7 by using Jumplists. Windows Live Sync is also included which keeps your files synchronized on the web and across multiple PCs.

Microsoft also introduced several new features for Windows Live Photo Gallery, including photo fusing to blend photos together and improved facial recognition.

Installed.

Looking forward to skinning.

Some remarks:

- installer doesn't let u choose which programs u want to update and with programs not, so I want to keep the old messenger, but update photo gallery and such

- If I gonna install WLM, all the nicknames are reverted to their real names, sometimes it's easier to know the person by his nickname (forums and such)

Let's hope yuna releases an update of Plus! 4, else we'll have a lot of posts about it

You need to enable it first by going to your profile page, clicking edit underneath Facebook and then tick "Chat to your Facebook friends" or whatever the option is called. If the option doesn't appear, then Chat isn't supported in your country yet.
