Do you love using Windows Live Hotmail? Did you wish that you could use a personalized domain name such as me@johnnyenglish.com or agent86@getsmart.com instead of same.old@hotmail.com or boring@live.com? Or maybe you are a small business owner and would like to have a company-branded email address such as info@yourcompany.com?

In fact, you can use any email address you want and make that into a Windows Live ID! Say if you have an alumni email address (i.e. me@alumni.uni.edu) from your university, you can use that as your Windows Live ID. What's good about having a Windows Live ID? Read the next point. Your Windows Live ID enables you to use one account for login authentication with all Microsoft web sites - b ut it's more than that. If a non-Microsoft web site supports Windows Live ID authentication, you can use your Windows Live ID to register for an account on that web site. Of course, the web site will still know nothing about you except that you have a Windows Live ID, so it will ask you to fill in information that they want to have about you. What's the benefit of using your Windows Live ID ...
