O.P. Windows Live Messenger - Edit Profile - is grayed out

This is a new installation of Windows Live Messenger. I finally uninstalled MSN Messenger 7.5.0324 and Messenger Plus! 3.63.148 (rebooted, removed their leftover files, and rebooted again) and upgraded to Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0787.00 and Messenger Live Plus! 4.0.0.235 (and rebooted).

In Tools - Options - Personal, the Edit Profile button is grayed out. How do I ungray the button so I can create and edit a profile?

Do I have to go here to get a Windows Live ID in order to ungray that button?

Going there, it looks like it wants me to create a new hotmail address. Is there any way to update my existing hotmail address (and current .NET Passport) to Windows Live, because when I try to enter it in there it says it's not available. Why is it not available? Can't my hotmail, .NET Passport and Windows Live ID be the same hotmail address?
