    Windows Live Essentials Latest Download


    For those users running Windows Live Essentials, the software suite offered by Microsoft, Wave 3 has been updated once again, and this time, Movie Maker is finally gold (out of the beta stage).
    The exact list of build changes is listed over at Ars Technica:
    Messenger: 14.0.8089.726 (previous build was 14.0.8064.206)
    Mail: 14.0.8089.0726 (previous build was 14.0.8064.206)
    Photo Gallery: 14.0.8081.709 (previous build was 14.0.8064.206)
    Movie Maker: 14.0.8091.0730 (previous build was 14.0.8064 beta)
    Writer: 14.0.8089.726 (previous build was 14.0.8064.206)
    Toolbar: 14.00.8064.0206 (previous build was 14.0.8064.206)
    Family Safety: 14.0.8093.0805 (previous build was 14.0.8064.0206)
    The new suite can be downloaded from Microsoft on the official Windows Live page, although no word has yet been released by Microsoft as to the exact changes in each application, other than Movie Maker or Family Safety.
    According to an email to Ars by Microsoft, the changes in Family Safety are as follows:
    Based on customer feedback, the newest version of Family Safety features tighter integration with Windows User Accounts and Windows Parental Controls. This results in a seamless login experience and enhanced reporting capabilities to help parents understand what their kids are doing on the computer and online. We have also made enhancements for web browsing such as locking Safe Search for children and helping them find sites designed for kids with http://fss.live.com/kids. These updates will make Windows Live Family Safety easier for parents to get started, and it’s easier for them to keep their kids safer online.
    No changelist for Movie Maker have been released, at the moment, the only known change (other than almost insignificant changes such as UI differences), is that Movie Maker is now Gold.
