Ok, now it has been released, when I did my post the old page was still there (blue theme, now it's a yellow theme). That's why I make it clear "at least until now". Anyway, thanks for the info
Does the old Windows live Essentials need to be uninstalled before this is installed or does it simply upgrade itself?
Yes it is better to uninstall it. However, your previous settings / emoticons shortcuts will not be erased
