Windows 7 Feature Focus: Windows Live Essentials | |

Paul Thurrott: Thanks to antitrust action in the United States, the European Union, and elsewhere around the world, Microsoft has had to reevaluate bundling certain features with its dominant Windows platform. The first to go were so-called middleware applications like Windows Messenger, the instant messaging (IM) application that was previously bundled with Windows XP. In the Vista timeframe, Microsoft began getting more aggressive about stripping applications out of Windows and making them available as so-called out of band updates, that is, updates that are delivered outside of the normal OS development schedule. So we saw the first examples of Vista applications, like Windows Mail and Photo Gallery, being replaced by Windows Live branded applications. | ||
