Speculations are high after a live mail survey was sent to mail beta testers that indicated Microsoft plans to change hotmail.com mail id’s to @live.com. The question that pointed toward this was whether the users wanted a new email address on a new, simple and easy domain e.g. joesmith@live.com?

Thats pleasant news as it was kind off crappy to visit the Hotmail.com domain to access somewhat sophisticated Live .

Hope its true.

Cheers !!
