The Windows Live Essentials team says it focused on updating the applications in a way that complements Windows 7 (and still works on Vista, but not XP). Specifically, Microsoft says it focused on making three tasks easier: creating and sharing polished photos and movies with your closest friends, organizing your e-mail accounts in one place with flexible tools to be productive, as well as synchronizing files across your computers and accessing them from virtually anywhere with an Internet connection. Microsoft is focusing on sharing so much because it says 60 percent of PC users share photos weekly and 25 percent edit and share videos. At the same time, though, 50 percent of photos and 80 percent of videos that users take don't get shared because they find it too hard to do so.
