Coming soon: @live.com and @windowslive.com by jordanspringer on 06-15-2006 at 01:35 AM

As some of you may already know, on June 20th you will beable to get an @live.com or @windowslive.com domain, which would be used just like the current @hotmail.com or @msn.com domains used today. They will be used to access all of the Windows Live ID services, including Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Messenger and more. Now is everyones chance to get the email address they always wanted, and not user_324823@hotmail.com lol. I guess Microsoft is also working on a utility to copy all user preferences from your existing @hotmail.com account to be copied over to a @live.com account. JUNE 20TH, dont forget!:P

Seems like Apothix was indeed an early bird when he suddenly got presented with a windowslive.com account. You see, the Windows Live Mail support blog yesterday announced that starting June 20th, people who sign up for a new Windows Live ID will have two new domains to chose from: @live.com and @windowslive.com.

Needless to say, your current account(s) will remain unchanged and will continue to work with all Windows Live services.

:O wow... I never knew about this before now... thanks :D


RE: Coming soon: @live.com and @windowslive.com by sufcste on 06-15-2006 at 02:29 PM

I'm glad they're not forcing you to change because I think it's a bit of hassle I don't see that it matters what comes after the @ if the features don't change. Anyway I use gmail/googlemail :D


RE: Coming soon: @live.com and @windowslive.com by Reload2 on 06-15-2006 at 02:51 PM

It was originaly posted on the Mail-Support Space But now, that entry is deleted...


RE: Coming soon: @live.com and @windowslive.com by Nagamasa on 06-22-2006 at 02:02 AM

Well the point proven to be incorrect. Neowin has this too, but its way dosent work, nor does it still say that on the WLM Blog anymore...

Neowin's way of getting a non-Hotmail/MSN doesnt work lol....made a whole new account just for something that doesnt work.

I can't really give the sources, since I can't remember them, so don't quote me on this, but if I remember right I read somewhere that this was going to be delayed.

I think it was at Neowin too. Its too bad that now my new account has to wait before I can make it @windowslive.com or @live.xx.

All we've been told is that because of M6 problems, the release has been pushed back. We don't know when it'll be ready, all we know is "soon".

RE: Coming soon: @live.com and @windowslive.com by Nagamasa on 06-24-2006 at 03:29 PM

Well lets hope 'soon' is not 25 years...


RE: Coming soon: @live.com and @windowslive.com by Mentality on 06-24-2006 at 03:49 PM

RE: Coming soon: @live.com and @windowslive.com by Nagamasa on 06-28-2006 at 11:29 AM

It can be released from anytime from the next second to googolplex milleniums later. 'Soon' was the word used by Microsoft when they prosponed it.
