Windows Live Essentials coming soon?

LiveSide writes Microsoft is preparing to launch Windows Live Essentials, a product similar to Google Pack:

Windows Live Essentials is an upcoming product that will be the Windows Live equivalent of the Google Pack; allowing for one-click installations as well as providing update notifications for the individual products. With a central control panel (Windows Live Dashboard) providing information on the various Windows Live application, Essentials should eventually allow automated installations.

While the product won't necessarily be used by the more technically advanced users, especially those in the betas, it will no doubt benefit the vast majority.
