Windows Live is the collective brand name for a set of services and software products from Microsoft, part of their software plus services platform. A majority of these services are Web applications, accessible from a browser, but there are also client-side binary applications that require installation on a user's PC. There are three ways in which Windows Live services are offered: Windows Live Essentials applications, web services, and mobile services. Windows Live was first announced on November 1, 2005. In its initial release, several Windows Live properties were rebranded and enhanced from Microsoft's MSN set of products and services. However, MSN still exists alongside Windows Live as a means of delivering programmed content (as opposed to customized content and communications). Although the new branding might suggest closer technical ties to the Microsoft Windows operating system and services, the two are available separately. Microsoft said that Windows Live "is a way to extend the Windows user experience". Windows Vista provides a link in its user interface to download Windows Live Messenger, and Windows 7 saw the removal of applications such as Windows Mail, Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker and replaced with the Windows Live Essentials suite, a software package that allows the downloading and installation of similar offerings from Windows Live. Some web-based Windows Live services such as Windows Live SkyDrive are available outside of Windows, however these services are integrated closely with the Windows Live Essentials suite of applications. Besides Windows Live, which is mainly aimed at individuals, there are some other Web properties from Microsoft that are branded as "Live": Microsoft Office Live for small businesses, the Xbox LIVE multiplayer gaming and content delivery system for Xbox and Xbox 360, and the Games for Windows - LIVE multiplayer gaming service for Microsoft Windows. On January 23, 2009, Microsoft announced that Office Live services will be converged into Windows Live services. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How can you stop Windows Live Messenger from automatically opening up when I start up my computer? Q. I share my computer and I don't use Windows Live Messenger and it's very annoying as it slows the computer up when its starting up.Just want the option of starting it manually whenever it is wanted. Asked by David M - Sat Apr 11 13:52:33 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Whenever you start Windows messenger will start up along. Although you disable it through msconfig panel it will still add itself into startup folder the next time you manually start it. The only way you can prevent it to start up is to use third-party software winpatrol which you can get here. Install it and from than on everytime Windows Live Messenger will try to startu up, this small program will prevent it and ask you if you allow it or not. You just press no and you will never be bothered with it. Answered by Tomaz - Mon Apr 13 14:15:21 2009 Why Windows Live Messenger appears twice on the taskbar of Windows 7? Q.

I don't want to download any messenger is there a way I can do this right from the internet in the email thingy? If you need more details about what i'm trying to say just ask. Asked by Him - Mon Jun 28 12:29:46 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. There is no difference hotmail is Windows Live. Windows Live is usually the reference to how modern the Microsoft program is, because now they do like a Windows Live Package including such programs as WIndows Live Call and Windows Live Writer. But you can use the messenger through the mail.live.com site when you have signed in and are at your inbox to the top right of the inbox is a messenger sign in thing, through that you can have conversations through your internet browser. But the downloadable package is so much easier.
