Windows Essentials 2012 is the new name that Redmond has given to the latest version of the most widespread communication suite of microsoft.
It’s been a couple of days available for download and it includes the programs Messenger, sky drive (which replaces Windows Live Mesh), Email, Writer, photogallery, Movie Maker, Child protection Y Outlook Connector Pack (in the version for W8 Neither Skydrive nor Child Protection is included, I imagine it will be because it will come as standard). This version supports W7 Y W8 exclusively.
These software have different functions that we all already know but…What improves and what changes in this new version of MSN 2012? I have tested it for a short time but the changes are quite subtle at the same time that scarce compared to the 2011 version.

Neither Messenger nor Mail have many changes (it’s hard to know if you’re still on the previous version) but I think it was a wise decision because MSN is more than dead, this time they seem to have centered much more in the versions of photogallery Y Movie Maker that if they have been retouched to expand their possibilities, we can upload publications to Vimeo from both.
In the version of the Windows Photo Gallery we appreciate:
- Automatic collage, which merges 7 to 50 images in a composition and works like a charm.
In the version of Movie Maker we already have more changes:
- Video stabilizer (available only on W8).
- Access to royalty free music.
- Visualization of the wave of the sound tracks.
- New audio track for narrations.
- Contour effects on texts.
- Recording in H.264 format by default.
