I just bought a new laptop and on it is Windows Essentials 2013, so it still uses that name. I was happy to see it already installed when I got it and I didn't have to download it after getting rid of Norton. It does a good job. I've had it on my XP laptop and my Win 7 and now my Win 8, all doing well.
