Howtogeek posted a screenshot tour of Windows Live Essentials Beta

Microsoft has released a beta version of the next version of Windows Live Essentials, it includes tools like Movie Maker, Mail, Live Sync, and more for Vista and Windows 7. Here we?ll take a look at the beta suite and see what you can expect.
Windows Live Essentials is a bundle of nice free apps for Windows. Most of these programs, such as Mail and Movie Maker, were included as features in previous versions of Windows. Now these apps have been unbundled from Windows, ideally so they can be updated more frequently than Windows itself is. The latest version isn?t fully ready for prime-time yet, but if you'd like to get started with them, you can download the new Beta today and try out the new tools for yourself.
