live.com is the new free service of microsoft.... so you might want to get
the
account name you desire before someone else gets it.

for example (e-mail address removed) instead of (e-mail address removed)


To do it, follow these steps:

How to get a Live.com ID

Go to https://accountservices.passport.net/reg.srf register an passport
account with a NON-HOTMAIL/MSN email address
Sign in to http://login.live.com with your passport that you just
registered.
Paste https://account.live.com/EditProf.aspx into address bar.
Edit your registered information, input your birthday (18+) and change your
Country/Region to 'United States'.
Paste https://account.live.com/LoginChangeName.aspx to address bar, then
your can change your passport to @live.com.


Note:
If you do not change to US (skip step four), you'll get @windowslive.com
domain address
If you change to 'China', you'll get @live.cn domain address
If you change to 'Korea', you'll get @live.co.kr domain address and so on...
It seems like Windows Live Mail only works with @live.com addresses at the
moment
Please note that after migrating to @live.com domain, your previous
NON-HOTMAIL/MSN email address will no longer be associated with passport
Currently, it only works for NON-HOTMAIL/MSN email addresses (in Step 1)

Lol MS probably found out that
thousands of people were getting names.. so they shut it down !

It was nice while it lasted.....
