How to Register an Email With Windows Live
Microsoft bought the popular Web-based email service Hotmail for $400 million in December 1997 and slowly integrated it with other Microsoft services like Windows Live. Windows Live has its own collection of services of programs that tie into a single ID so you can stay organized and productive online. Microsoft then confirmed on August 4, 2010 that they finished rolling out the new Hotmail service. The refined service features full integration with other Windows Live services such as Live Messenger.
