SionicIon Share Posted July 13, 2006 They said they had to do a few tweaks, its been a month, and I don't see any posts about issues with there new e-mail address so why do they need tweaks?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jexel Share Posted July 13, 2006 It is very likely yes. However you won't be able to do so until they complete the migration process. I don't have a clue when this is coming out but they said it won't be there on live.com address release day. 2 questions. One. If my email is able to converted into @live.com what about my wlm/msn contacts? Two. What if somebody takes my @live.com email thus not being able to convert my existing hotmail acccount? Or will there be a time available for the name to be reserved incase some may wish to convert... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Share Posted July 14, 2006 I doubt they will reserve them. I dont think MS wants people to convert, merely it provides the option. It solves alot more issues than it raises by letting new users start from scratch. Actually I'm sure the conversion page will be basically the same other members saw a month ago where you can type in any live address you want and it will convert to that. So you can type the same one as a @live or something new. But hopefully they dont reserve the names, new users have just as much right to a decent msn name and the last thing we need is the same users to have the good @hotmail AND the good @live addresses. I think itll be 1st in 1st serve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattking Share Posted July 14, 2006 techdude6371: I take it that screenshot exists because you already have a live.com account? When will this be available, is it available now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Frank B. Subscriber² Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hm. get.live.com definitely works for me... without having a live.com account I should add. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooSH Share Posted July 14, 2006 get.live.com works for me. its awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStar Share Posted July 14, 2006 That get.live.com page has been there for a few days now. It's just a boring flash site anyway, nothing new or interesting. If it's not loading for you, it's probably because you don't have flash installed, or you're blocking it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SionicIon Share Posted July 14, 2006 techdude6371: I take it that screenshot exists because you already have a live.com account? When will this be available, is it available now? I don't have a @live.com, I don't even have to be logged in to see it! See the other people are agreeing! Someone should post a thread on the back page news foum on Neowin because this is awesome! Some of you may not be able to see this because maybe of Adobe Flash Player 9 or Opera and you will be redirected to ideas.live.com, because I tryed going to it in Opera and it redirected me, try going there with Macromedia Flash Player 8 and IE7!
