: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.

That is true, but i don't beleve they will have 2 seperate services. If there smart, they'll give the option to transfer in the future.

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!

I went through the hole process but when I get to

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

I get a Page not Found error:

    • AMD 9070XT

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
