To me @Live addresses are cool even though I like Gmail interface and email handling a lot better than Hotmail. It is short and sweet and stands out. When Microsoft announced that it will open up the @Live addresses I was excited. But then the news faded and there was no word for a while. In the mean time our unofficial hackers came up with a hack that will let us get @Live addresses (unofficially) by changing few parameters in the browser URL.
Here is how you do it,
- Visit the Windows Live Hotmail subscription page
- Click the “Get it free” button
- When the new page comes up, in the address bar, replace “hmnewuser.aspx” with “newuser.aspx”
- Locate and delete “&hm=1″ from the same address bar
- Hit enter, and when the page reloads it will let you create @live addresses
Enjoy!!! And make sure to get your @live addresses as soon as you can as this hack might not work forever.
