New Windows Live Suite is Almost Live says Microsoft

Microsoft issued yet another Windows heads up on Wednesday in a briefing with PC Magazine. This one is for a suite of Windows Live products slated to be available sometime in August. The suite includes Windows Live Toolbar, which actually became available this week, Windows Live Safety Updates, and Windows Live Spaces, Microsoft’s version of MySpace.

One of the most notable inclussions with this New Windows Live Suite other than Windows Live Spaces will be Windows Live Safety Updates which will include the newly named Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner which was previously named Windows Live Safety Center Beta.

“Our approach is different from the Wild Wild West model that others have followed to this point,” said Moz Hussain, group product manager for Windows Live. “Our social networking will instead be built around your trusted circle of contacts or those contacts of others you trust.”

Hussain and Larry Grothaus, lead product manager for Windows Live, were unable to give PC Magazine a release date for the new applications, but they estimate they will be ready within the next few weeks.
