Hello!

We'd like to tell you about a new beta program, Windows Live Essentials.

Windows Live is a new wave of online services-including e-mail, instant messaging, and security- designed to work together as a seamless whole. Windows Live Essentials is a simple way to get a set of these services in one easy download. It'll also give you Windows Live Dashboard, which offers a handy view of what services you already have and what new ones are available.

Would you be interested in being part of the first beta release of Windows Live Essentials? If so, please fill out the beta nomination survey before September 2, 2006, and we'll let you know if you qualify.

Here's how to fill out the survey:

  1. Go to the Microsoft Connect Web site: http://connect.microsoft.com.
  2. On the Connect menu, click "Invitations."
  3. Sign in using a your Windows Live ID (your user name and password for MSN Hotmail or Windows Live Messenger, or your Passport address).
  4. Enter this invitation code: ***-****-**** （隐去了原邀请代码）
  5. Click "Go."
  6. If you have not previously registered with Microsoft Connect, you may be prompted to do so at this point.
  7. Fill out the nomination survey.
 
We'll let you know as soon as we can if you qualify for this beta program.

Thanks for your help!
 
Best,

The Windows Live Essentials Beta team
