New hack puts @live.* addresses up for grabs again
dwergs says:

In November we published a hack which allowed you to register @live.* addresses ahead of the game, and it took Microsoft long enough to fix the hole for ten thousands of us to get our hands on some good-looking, tiny account names.

Last Tuesday however, a Chinese blogger called xuybin published a new method to register any free @live-account of your choice. Just like our trick a month ago, his hack spread like wildfire (especially within the Chinese blogosphere) but amazingly enough it still hasn't been blocked by Microsoft. Maybe this is bound to change now that picturepan2 has nicely translated the step-by-step instructions into English for us. Here they are, and note that you need Firefox 2 or upwards.

1) Go here.
2) Click "Get started", under "Use a domain I already own" enter any domain you like.
3) Select "Create a new Windows Live ID in your domain".
4) Select View > Page Style > No Style. Ta-dah! The input box was hidden using CSS!
5) Select @live.com from the dropdown.
6) Select "Create a Windows Live e-mail address" and continue the registration.

Get one while you still can!

UPDATE: LiveSide adds that you need to log into mail.live.com in order to activate e-mail on your newly created account(s).

UPDATE #2: According to Messers Tutsumi and Maxtoid, the hack has now been disabled.

UPDATE #3: ...but many others are still able to succesfully register new @live.* accounts.
