Here are instructions on how you can register a live.com ID at Microsoft, it's a few simple steps and after that you will maybe snap up an ID that's not already registered to someone else. I got mine and have verified that these steps do in fact work. Enjoy!

How to get a Live.com ID

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 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)

Passport = Live ID

You can change your current Live ID to @live.com or @windowslive.com

That's what this does for you.
 
Matt i'm currently using y @hotmail.com passport to log into my live email. which i love i think its a great leap forward, so screw you gmail. :)
 
Microsoft has disabled this feature. From what I've read it wasn't supposed to be public yet?
 
I thought Live ID is the replacement or new name for Passport.
 
got myself "Khayman" live address, shhuuuweeet :)

There was a JavaScript trick posted on the Neowin forum yesterday (originally from Mess.be). I signed up directly for a @live.com account. Got just the one I wanted. :)

Was trying to figure out what all the buzz is.

My hotmail has been Windows Live Mail since god knows when.
My hotmail was working on Windows Live Mail as of the first post of this thread.

Confused, but it's Friday so who cares?

Good weekend all.
 
Good weekend to you too stranger, nice to see you again ;)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
