Domains @live.com and @windowslive.com Coming June 20th

On June 20th, two new domains will be available! @live.com and @windowslive.com will be the newest additions to the Windows Live concept. For those of you with the drawn out redundant e-mail addresses, (like jimjohn200304234@hotmail.com) this is your chance to get the short simple name you’ve always wanted. While it’s a hassle to notify all of your contacts, it may be worth it! When Gmail first began 2 years ago, I jumped at the chance to get the account name that I wanted. Chances like this don’t come around very often.

The Windows Live team is currently working on a migration process that would allow you to transfer your current information to a new account. Unfortunately for the time being this feature is not available which will probably be the biggest copmlaint among current hotmail and MSN users wanting to switch over to the news domains. It would have been nice to see this migration process already implemented so that the process of switching over to a new domain would be simple and effortless. Which according to Microsoft,

What is Windows Live?
Your online world gets better when everything works simply and effortlessly together. That’s the basic idea behind Windows Live.

    Think I’ll get one of the @live.com ones - purely to have one of course, I can’t see any reason why I’d ever switch from Gmail.

    Yeah, I’ll probably just get my name @live.com before everyone takes it. That is the one thing that sucks about having a common name is that it is never available in email addresses. Luckily I got into GMail before someone took my name.

    I have several questions about this.

    1.Is name.lastname@live.com (@windowslive.com) the same as namelastname@live.com (@windowslive.com) like with Gmail?

    2. Are these two seperate e-mail services from the same company?

    3. Is there a sign-up page for this yet? (That isn’t active yet or isn’t accepting sign-ups). If not, do you know when MS will create a registration page?

    4. What happens to a previous @msn.com e-mail address? Does it remain unchanged, or is this a replacement or something?

    Thanks. =)

    1. I am not sure if the period will constitute different addresses of if they will be ignored.

    2. It sounds like they are going to be two different services that you can register for. You can either can either just do one of the addresses or you could try and get both @live.com and @windowslive.com

    3. They have said that registration will be on June 20.

    4. Your MSN account will still remain the same.
