Microsoft has officially opened the much anticipated and well overdue registration for the new @live.com email addresses. This minor update along with the rest of wave 2 of Microsoft’s Windows Live Suite allows users to now fully take advantage of Windows Live. Microsoft should have opened registration to the @live.com acronym when the company first started Windows Live, but nonetheless this is a welcome change. The company now gives users a change and the ability to get away from the old "Hotmail" acronym and finally puts their email service in-line with the rest of the Windows Live Suite.

Sweet.
interesing... typical windows
I checked if my hotmail nickname was available, it is... When netscape mail (i know "who use that?", just bear with me) changed to AOL Mail i kept my old address "myusername@netscape.net" and also had "myusername@aol.com" in the same inbox.
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong option, but seems to me this isn't the case with Live.com
its only offering @windowslive.com now
its only offering @windowslive.com now
I dont have WindowsLive.com as an option....
I have been using Live email, imean @live.com from Jan 2007 when someone put a small hack to make yourself register in Live. Its just like New Hotmail. Although with plethora of new services like Google, Microsoft going to offer through Live (I mean Live Concept) still it is far behind compared to Google or others.
No matter it has got a new look and some new features, but beleive me still gmail and yahoomail are much better than Live.

+1
uhm.. yes, +1
Hmmmm... I tried reloading the page over and over, and it listed @live.com again.
I wonder if its letting only so many in at a time.
Anyway, I couldn't get the names I tried.
1. open a brand new browser session and go to windowslive.com
2. there should be a text link with a little icon (above the 3 boxes of options) to create a new Windows Live ID.
3. click it, and the new page (after a bounce or two) should bring you to a brand spankin' new sign-up page with "live.com" as one of the options.
enjoy
Although i can get to the reg page with @live.com displayed correctly, I got the Error code:31:0x00000000r...is this my problem or live.com itself?
the error was: ------------------------------------

Please try again.

Good thing I was kidding.
I tried to register using FireFox and it wouldn't show me the option to register my email with live.com
I tried in IE, and it worked.
LOL!
Is Microsoft trying to discourage the use of FireFox by limiting its services to IE users? I know its not possible...but still, I can't think of any other reason that would explain this.
and oh yes, after trying to sign up i get,

Thanks guys

I use Gmail myself, mainly because I don't care if my e-mail looks pretty. Google's whole thing is the minimalist approach, which has its appeal to the neo-tech geek/slacker whatever types. As the biggest software company in the world, I expect way better than the same generic graphical theme we always see. Forgetful names (Live This, Live That) don't help either. I prefer AOL's set of services. They look nice as well as their ability to perform.
Please try again. .....maybe i don't want to :|

Anyone else having problems????
