A new version of Windows Live Essentials is now available for download on the web.
While the official launch is still a couple of hours away, the folks at LiveSide.net have discovered a secret download link on Microsoft servers that takes you straight to the installer of the new version.
Use this link if you would like to install only a subset of Windows Live programs or go with this link to install the entire Windows Live Essentials suite in one go.
I tried using Windows Live Movie Maker, Photo Gallery and Windows Live Writer for some time and didn’t come across any new features – maybe this release is centered around bug fixes. Thanks @MaryJo for the tip.
