We'd like to tell you about a new beta program, Windows Live® Essentials.

Windows Live is a new wave of online services-including e-mail, instant messaging, and security- designed to work together as a seamless whole. Windows Live Essentials is a simple way to get a set of these services in one easy download. It'll also give you Windows Live Dashboard, which offers a handy view of what services you already have and what new ones are available.

Would you be interested in being part of the first beta release of Windows Live Essentials? If so, please fill out the beta nomination survey before September 2, 2006, and we'll let you know if you qualify.
