1. Go to https://accountservices.passport.net/reg.srf register an passport account with a NON-HOTMAIL/MSN email address

2. Sign in to http://login.live.com with your passport that you just registered.

3. Paste https://account.live.com/EditProf.aspx into address bar.

4. Edit your registered information, input your birthday (18+) and change your Country/Region to 'United States'.

5. Paste https://account.live.com/LoginChangeName.aspx to address bar, then your can change your passport to @live.com.

Note:

- If you do not change to US (skip step four), you'll get @windowslive.com domain address

- If you change to 'China', you'll get @live.cn domain address

- If you change to 'Korea', you'll get @live.co.kr domain address and so on...

- It seems like Windows Live Mail only works with @live.com and @live.co.uk addresses at the moment

- Please note that after migrating to @live.com domain, your previous NON-HOTMAIL/MSN email address will no longer be associated with passport

- Currently, it only works for NON-HOTMAIL/MSN email addresses (in Step 1)

Update: It appears that Microsoft has fixed the exploit and the Email Change page in step 5 is no longer available. If you have not gotten a new email address, you will have to wait until they are publicly available.

^^ On their (Microsoft's Windows Live peeps') blog announcement about the June 20th date, they said it would be a few weeks/ "some time" after the @windowslive and @live addressess go live that they will allow for the migration of accounts -- its in the works, but it will take some time.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
