I reviewed this application a year ago and it’s changed a lot since. The interface has been changed to blend more into Windows 7 which you will see in the screen shots below.

Part 1 – Installation

The installer is very user-friendly and doesn’t force you to install all the applications.

review3 – It’s nice that you can select what you want and don’t want to install

review4 – The installation took a little longer then I expected, but I have slow internet

review5 – After about 30 minutes it’s done.

review6 – And you can sign up for a Live ID if you haven’t already

review7 – Looks like it worked

review8 – Windows Live Mail is my second favorite email app next to Outlook

review9 – Photo Gallery isn’t really need in Vista but it’s nice to have in XP

review10 – Windows Live Writer is my favorite blogging application. Highly recommended

review11 – Even though I’m not a fan of toolbars, this one is actually quite nice.

Overall rating: 4 out of 5

Installer: 4.5 out of 5

Mail: 5 out of 5

Photo Gallery: 4 out of 5

Writer: 5 out of 5

Toolbar: 3.5 out of 5
