Windows Live is a new set of Internet software and services designed to work together seamlessly to put you in control of the information, personal connections, and interests you care about. Windows Live makes it easier for you to stay in touch with your friends, and to find the information you need quickly and more safely.
Information
It's time to bring it all together. All the information you need, on your PC or on the go. Shopping, powerful Web search, your e-mail, your friend's blog, and the latest information from all corners of the online world—get it all in one place, served up just the way you want it.
Connections
It's not about technology. It's about connecting to your friends and family, any way you want. Flashy new features aren't the point (though we've got those, too). Whether it's e-mail, blogs, or instant messages, what’s important is staying in touch the way you choose.
Protection
Windows Live helps you feel safer from identity theft, viruses, spyware, and junk e-mail, and from online threats to child safety. Whether you're
instant messaging, e-mailing, doing a quick virus scan, or anything else, it's all about easy, comprehensive care.
So what about MSN?
Don't worry, it's not going anywhere. MSN will still be your best source for world news and entertainment online. Some MSN online services are moving (or have already moved) to Windows Live, but your e-mail address, contact list, and other saved information won't change. The only changes will be improvements. Windows Live will give you better personalization, social networking, and information gathering, along with powerful online protection. Windows Live brings together the things you care about most, without leaving anything behind.
