: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.

Im guessing there ganna completely phase hotmail out eventually, So more than likely hotmail will completely merge into windows live mail. Meaning, hotmail.com will point to live.com. So therefore, more than likely all hotmail account will be swapped to @live or @windowslive domains.

Otherwise, there ganna have there massive DB of hotmail users and this new small live DB....Id say they will merge.

People are signing up for Live.com names that may be already taken by someone using Hotmail. I don't think they can just move [email protected] to [email protected].

No of course they can't do that. I guess when the time comes to move It'll give options as to whether you want a new address or stick with the @hotmail.com one.

Question: If you got into the new live account signup, those american accounts are assigned 2 gigs of space? How is this known? There no disk space status bar on live, yet. Would be nice if this is permant, however im thinking when it goes public we'll be reverted to the usual 250mb. They might be trying to compete with G-mail though, so never know.

manduck: yes you choose "register a new ID" then you input an existing NON-HOTMAIL/LIVE MAIL email address (for example [email protected])

this will register it for passport, then follow the other steps and change the address to @live.com

Then the non-hotmail / live mail address will be disassociated from Passport and you have a nice new @live.com email :D

there currently is no way to get it to forward to your existing hotmail / live mail account :p

Thankssss soooooo muchhh....finally got it! thankkz!

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

      From what i understand from the article on the link, Google is buying from SpaceX access to a limited supply of Nvidia CPUs.   Evidendtly SpaceX was able to secure access to the Nvidia GPUs shutting out Google from buying them directly from Nvidia resulting in this reverse deal.

      LOL, expect to take you seriously? The $7k myth? Ignoring the BILLIONS Qatar spends every year to influence American politicians and universities? Claim terrorists are "journalists" when they are members of Hamas and even have Hamas funerals with their pictures in Hamas garb. "Snipe kids" when they don't, meanwhile the other side sends kids into battle (and their mothers praise their martyrdom) and uses them as human shields and their schools as rocket launch sites and entrances to their tunnels - which they took all their foreign aid to build at the expense of their people. Base their operations at hospitals - violating every rule of war and making said hospital legitimate military targets? AND THEY KILL LGBTQ+ PEOPLE - listen to their own testimonies themselves, their interviews on what they do to them! They're proud of it! Your talking points are all BS and you know it. Stop defending another Islamic dictatorship that uses terror as their primary policy.

      BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 by Razvan Serea BetterMediaInfo is a modern, open-source graphical user interface for MediaInfo, designed to improve metadata inspection workflows for audio and video files. It extracts and presents technical parameters such as codec profiles, bitrates, resolution, frame rate, stream ordering, and container-level attributes in a structured, readable layout. The interface is built with clarity and responsiveness in mind, supporting drag-and-drop functionality. It preserves the full feature set of the MediaInfo library while making the data easier to parse for users working in media management, encoding validation, or post-production environments. In short, BetterMediaInfo takes the power of MediaInfo and makes it much easier to use. Whether you're checking video quality, verifying audio settings, or just curious about a file's details, it gives you clear, organized info without the clutter. Requires Microsoft Edge WebView2, which is included in most Windows versions. BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 changelog: Added an Image stream table to the card view and detail view, including type, color space, resolution, and size fields. Added View settings to toggle Image stream tables in card view and detail view. Added BatchMkvMerge to the welcome page with localized descriptions and a GitHub link. Added a portable 7z archive to the Windows release artifacts. Improved first-run language selection by detecting the system language and saving it to configuration. Updated Italian translations.
