<< Security by Microsoft? >> lol... I'd rather stay with Google's security.
All these "fancy" features won't make me leave Gmail. |
I got one of those... Never use it to send email though. |
Very nice! However, someone took zimlive.com, so I won't leave GMail. |
it didn't worked for me, but never mind my gmail & hosted is sufficient for me :) |
That method didn't work for me. I used this one last year though:
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2006/11/get-livecom-mail-address.html
That method also allows:
@live.com @live.com.au @live.be @live.ca @live.co.uk @live.de @live.fr @live.it @live.nl
BTW, the accidental anonymous comment on the Google Operating System blog was me:
<< Weird. I replaced "live." in the JavaScript with "gmail." and it let me register my Gmail address as a Windows Live ID. However, trying to login to Windows Live Mail gives the error, "Windows Live Mail does not support this account type." (Signing in to Windows Live Mail with my @live.com email address worked though.) >> |
Microsoft has fixed the loophole!!! |
Gmail is good enough. Manage to many email account waste too many time. |
I don't think they're ever going to distribute the @live.com account, because they've kept the Hotmail brand now. |
<< Microsoft has fixed the loophole!!! >>
Microsoft had fixed a lot of things. It doesn't necessarily mean they're good. |
lol! Just as they "Fixed Windows", now they have Vista |
SO what are they will up with when they FIX Vista ;) |
3 years and we'll find out. |
entering "billgates" gives me this: The Windows Live ID contains a word or phrase that is not allowed. Please try again. Also unlike gmail they allow dashes. Gmail allows dots in usernames but not dashes. No way in heck am I leaving gmail though.
Selling live.com addresses could be a good business to get into. UNLOCKED.PRADA.PHONESgmail.com is going for 41 dollars on eBay: http://search.ebay.com/gmail_W0QQfrppZ50QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ3QQmaxrecordsreturnedZ300QQsbrsrtZd
There's a few live.com email addresses as well, no bidders though: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&maxrecordsreturned=300&frpp=50&from=R10&satitle=live.com&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=ZIP%2FPostal&sabfmts=1&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=3%26fsoo%3D2&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search&fgtp= |
