Windows Live Essentials 2011 has finally came out of Beta with the final version released today. Windows Live Essentials 2011 is a collection of software products like Live Photo Gallery, Live Messenger, Live Mail, Movie Maker, Writer and Windows Live Sync. Although there is no official change log, Windows Live Essentials 2011has some nice features like the new Ribbon UI, slicker interface and support for Windows 7 jump-lists.

This is the first stable release of the Windows Live Essentials 2011 available for download. However, Microsoft’s official download site offers just the web installer of the package which requires a constantly ON internet connection during the installation procedure which takes quite a while. 

So for those who want to download the offline installer instead, click the link below. Offline installer helps you install Windows Live Essentials on a computer with no internet connection and also serves as a backup of the package.
