lol, it's not like buying the domain a.com and selling it for 1million.

In asense it's an upscale new version of hotmail, I doubt anyone would fork over big dollas for a hotmail account. :|

Never know though, people are stupid.

NOTE: Has the page for registering been removed? If so im glad i got my 2 accounts lol. Hope they don't decide to remove all the new [email protected] names, they should just let us pass and consider it a "beta" leak and take advantage.

when you change your account to a @live.com account, the "first email address" you signed up with is automatically "deleted". (i.e. its automatically dissasociated with the passport account)

it wont let you delete it because it doesnt exist :p

(or it does, but its not associated with a pasport)

Ah makes sense.

Update: It appears that Microsoft has fixed the exploit and the Email Change page is no longer available. If you have not gotten a new email address, you will have to wait until they are publically available. We will make sure to post that news when it happens.

WHooo toook my NAME!? Give me back Ian! Also - any ideas when australian hotmail/live.com.au will use the WLM interface and 2gigs space? Also, anyone want [email protected] only I accidently registered it...

Hey, is it possible if you get a really big company name for your @live.com, that maybe down the road, that company'll pay you a lot of $$ for the name you got?

No Numbnuts, because they use their own domains and servers, not freebee address'

only new @live.com registers who comes from United States can use Live mail interface and 2G space

I have registered @live.cn, but the mail space is just 25M, dammit~!

@live.co.uk addresses can use the live mail interface too, if you were quick enough ;)

I registered BenC(at)live.com & Spook(at)live.com. For those who missed out on this, you'll have to wait till tuesday when publically released (June 20th).

Coming Soon: @live.com and @windowslive.com domains

On June 20th, two new domains will be available for customers signing up for a new Windows Live ID: @live.com and @windowslive.com. These new domains will be available when you sign up for a new account with Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Family Safety Settings, and www.live.com.

You don't have to sign up for a new account...

but if you do, you will be able to use the account to sign in to any MSN or Windows Live service. The new account won't contain your old mail and contacts, but we are working on a migration process that will allow you to transfer your current information to a new account.

Should I sign up for a new account?

If your current mail and contacts are more important to you than getting a new domain name, we recommend you stay with your account. Even if you do sign up for a new account you won't lose your info, but we know it's tought juggling two accounts.

If you are excited about the new domains names (we sure are!!) then definitely sign up and let your contacts know about your new address. This is a great opportunity to make get the account name you have always wanted (no more [email protected]).

I hate Microsoft! Of course, they could've released the @live.com e-mail addresses ages ago but of course they want to see how long we can last, and we have some smart people who figured it out and here's Microsoft saying "Bravo" then taking down the change name page so we can wait longer and longer and see delays come by and they'll give excuses that aren't true probably "Oh we forgot to make a logo for the Window Live brand" "Oh we forgot to create a signup page for the @live.com e-mail address" "Oh we found a terrible bug thats called Micro****" "Oh you just hurt are feeling were gonna put you in Prison" Maybe one day there won't be a word "beta" for Microsoft or should I say Micro**** and we will all wait serveral years until we get what we want!

Quite good ~~~

Whoa.

You remind me of methanphetamines.

Wow, i can almost actually see the vain exploding out of your forehead from here on that one. It's 4 days...I think you can last. It's just a new domain...Sign up for the hotmail live beta, it has the same features...Minus the 2 gigs of space.

:D I got mine, just got back from the cinema and noticed the page was down when i was going to register one for my first name and get my dad one too with his first name. Does anyone know if it will be possible to merge both accounts of e-mails from my "@hotmail.co.uk" address will be forwarded to my "@live.co.uk" account and all my existing e-mails will be sent too? I've got some important e-mails that I need to keep.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.

    • When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
