I have Windows Live Essential 2012 installed on my desktop and Windows Live Essentials 2011 installed on my Acer Aspire One 11" netbook. I have been reading about the updates to Windows Live Mail that you will need to do in order to continue to use it. I have Outlook.com that I use for email usually and it is really all I need I believe. I used Windows Live Mail sometimes if it had an option that I did not find on the old HOT MAIL. I don't believe I need Windows Live Mail anymore. When the change comes about with OUTLOOK I am thinking of just uninstalling Windows Live Mail. I believe it is part of Windows Live Essentials. Will most people just stop using Windows Live Mail and uninstall it and keep Photo Gallery. It looks like ESSENTIALS will be gone as I believe MESSENGER is now SKYPE? What will happen to PHOTO GALLERY, MOVIE MAKER and LIVE WRITER? Gone?

Thank you,
