1. Goto this page to start registering your windows live account.

2. Press the sign-up button and you will be presented a form to sign up for a hotmail account.

3.Copy the following javascript injection code:

Code:
javascript:function r(q){} function s(q){e[q] = new Option(a[q],a[q])}; r(e = document.getElementById("idomain").options);r(d="live.");r(a = new Array("hotmail.com","hotmail.co.uk","msn.com",d+"com",d+"com.au",d+"be",d+"ca",d+"co.uk",d+"de",d+"fr",d+"it"/*mEss.be*/,d+"nl")); for (i=0;i<a.length;i++){ s(i ) }alert("Success - additional domains added!");
4. Paste the code in your address bar.

5. Hit enter, if all went well it should show a message box telling you "Success - additional domains added!".

6.Now you can select a multitude of domains, fill out the form and you are ready to go!

:lol: People pounce on all M$ things and find out bugs of all sorts!

I think M$ will, sooner or later, delete all other ids on all other domain names. Don't bother signing up with them. ;)

There is no harm in trying out , i think everyone interested should try and point out the negatives later, instead of judging before trying.

I don't think they will delete. People, who created ids using the .msn trick, still have their ids.

@AsishSharma - Thanks

@piyush619 - You can also use the more familiar www.hotmail.com for sign in.It will redirect to Windows Live Mail after sign in.

Vishal Gupta
Nov 13, 2006 at 3:50 PM
Yes! Get a job in Microsoft and u'll automatically get an ID ;)

Otherwise there is no way and if there is a way, that would be 100% ILLEGAL ;)

You can use any email address as your MSN passport :p So Dark Lord has registered his own domain name and created an email account with that. He has used that to register his MSN passport.

According to a msn blog, live addresses created using this method are likely to be blown away.

So its end of the fun ride

I dont think microsoft will take the extreme step of deleting the account, given the fact that they would come across a lot of criticism for punishing their fans for their own mistake.

If u have created @live account then plz go and write a line to MS and tell them do not delete the accounts as many have already commented:

*mail-support.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!A41CEE528F101345!4699.entry

As posted above, LiveSide has clarified that Microsoft has told them they wont delete the accounts as it would hurt the enthusiastic Fans of Live services...
__________
UPDATE:Nobody will lose their @live emails, clarification and assurance given by Kevin Briody from Windows Live team (*www.liveside.net/blogs/main/archiv...cr_ctl00___Comments___Comments_ctl11_NameLink

So enjoy everyone! :)
