Well, no, it won't "remain the same" -- it will eventually end up being spaces.live.com, and they will migrate the addresses when they're ready. Right now I think they just did some pre-emptory address changes to the typical spaces.msn.com URL for your blog, I think its now (USERNAME).spaces.msn.com -- and so, it would follow that in a logical sense, Live Spaces would mean the following blog URL formats: (USERNAME).spaces.live.com

You need to read what i wote. I said it should remain the same. but with the name change. reason why i didnt put that is becuase we know msn spaces will change to live spaces so no need to tell people what they already know

I did read what you wrote. All I did was state that in a technical sense, no it won't "remain the same", not the naming conventions and what not for older spaces.

I'm not here to assume what it is you meant, as apparently, when I do that about your apparently innate inability to spell, you like to bitch about that too. :|

Since I have a hotmail account associated with my MSN Space, I can't really move it over to my new Live account. I contacted MSN space:

Dear xxxxxx,

Thank you for writing to MSN Spaces Technical Support.

This is xxxxx and I understand that you want to associate your existing Space site with your new Microsoft Passport Network account. I understand how important resolving this issue is for you.

I am sorry to tell you that the said feature is not currently possible. You may delete your current Space and create a new one using your new account.

You can delete an MSN Space provided you are recognized as its owner and you are signed in using the same Microsoft Passport Network account you used in creating it. I have included for you below the steps on how to delete a Space.

1. Make sure that you have signed into your space and are in "edit mode".

2. Click the "Settings" tab.

3. Click "Space Settings".

4.Scroll down to the Delete your space section, and then click "Delete my space".

5. Click "OK".

In deleting a Space you have to consider the following:

- You cannot retrieve the space or any of the content, including photos that you had on your space.

- You cannot create a new space using the same URL for 60 days. If you want to keep your URL, edit your existing space rather than creating a new one.

You are a valuable customer to MSN and we are glad to give you consistent and effective service.

Thank you for using MSN Spaces.

Regards,

xxxxx

Okay, I know how to delete the thing. I would if I could get the username back.

well that sucks! this is probably the only thing keeping me away from getting a totally new email address. I got too many random people on my contact list so I probably would like to have a revamped contact list.

Those who are getting server errors from the live-int websites should change their language settings in IE to "en-us". And how do you get http://get.live.com/spaces/overview working? All I see is a blank page with the "flair" background. http://get.live-int.com/spaces/overview works but...

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By matthiew · Posted

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
