Microsoft is planning to brand Windows Live Wave 4 Essentials as Windows Live Essentials 2011 when it launches later this year.

The software giant is currently readying a public Windows Live Wave 4 beta which is expected to be widely available in June. Microsoft has reached the end of the Milestone 3 phase of development and is expected to enter the beta period shortly.

Windows Live Essentials, known previously as Windows Live Installer, is a suite of programs offering access to an array of Windows Live services. Essentials includes Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Writer, Windows Live Movie Maker and more.
