@JohnCz: I agree, Silverlight would have been a great tool to have included with the installer; hope they think about it.

This would also be a good time for home.live.com to launch, as it will have to serve as some sort of portal to the people who download it, otherwise, where else would it all come together?

Welcomed but I'm surprised that the first suite doesn't include Live.com domain registration and SilverLight 1.0 installer.

Andy, OC Family Safety has a client component to restrict the websites visited.

I'm guessing this means that WLM 8.5 will be released!

@jamiet, I think you can safely assume that Live Writer will be in the suite as it is one of the main more unique components and has always been talked about as eventually being in the suite before.

This news did surprise me a little seeing as only last week I heard from MS that there would be another beta of the suite/installer. And when the article says the suite will include "Windows Live OneCare Family Safety, a computer security program" I thought that this was a web-based service not a program?

Also, it's worth noting this at the end of the article:

"On Friday, a spokesman for Microsoft said that services that take advantage of the Web standards effort like Silverlight, a new system for displaying multimedia content via a Web browser that competes with Adobe’s Flash media player, would not be included in the first release of Windows Live, but would be added in the future."

WooHoo! About time!

Looking forward to getting this stuff outta beta. Crossing my fingers Live Writer is in there.

Oooh, goodie, I've been looking forward to this.

I'm guessing by the timing that the Windows Live Mail application is not going to have any form of calendaring in it since the web service hasn't hit public beta.
