"In the Hotmail and Live Mail support blog today, it was hinted that the
@Live accounts created with the javascript hack posted here on LiveSide (no
longer working), on the Mail Support blog itself (in a comment) and on
Mess.be and elsewhere may not survive long:
Because I don't want to get into the business of censoring comments, I did
not delete the instructions for creating an @live.com account. @live.com
accounts are not legitimately available anywhere except in the Netherlands,
where we released Windows Live Mail (without the Beta) last week. If you
created an @live.com account using the instructions below, it's quite likely
the account will get blown away.
While it remains to be seen whether any action is taken against these newly
created accounts (and for the record no action has been taken - so far - on
accounts created from an earlier leak of a workaround to the @live address
creation process), it's beyond us here at LiveSide why any such action would
occur.
Windows Live fans (and at this point there are far too few of them), the
ones who follow sites like LiveSide, should be rewarded for their
enthusiasm, not punished. If anything, Windows Live and Live Mail might
want to review their security procedures, and take their lumps for what was
at best a sloppy release. If the addresses are revoked, it might well turn
out to be a public relations nightmare, and anger Windows Live's biggest
fans. Classic case of two wrongs not making a right, if it were to happen."
Well i guess it was bound to happen, it was of no real use to me becuase i
couldnt migrate my information, plus some ppl did stupid stuff like live.gov
or added spaces which might stuff
Whatever happens happens and i dont think ppl should be too upset becuase
they did it the wrong way anyway
i found this in MS newsgroups..whats peoples thoughts on this?. hope people havent deleted there other account just to use the @live address
