passport and windows live id are the same thing with different names, aren't they?
You need a passport.net account to sign up to the WLM beta, and you use your passport.net to sign in to MSN Messenger, so they are not exactly the same thing, but for you I'll do an exception and I'll say:
Yes, it's the same thing
Actually, all Passports are valid Windows Live IDs: MS is moving from the .NET Passport Service to Windows Live IDs in keeping with the Windows Live services.
In summary, it's been Passport > .NET Passport > Microsoft Passport > Windows Live ID over time.
