I was excited from day one of Live.com beta launch for creating an email account @live.com but it was not possible before. Today I came to know that Microsoft has finally allowed people to create email account on live.com few weeks ago. Visit http://get.live.com/getlive/overview to signup for your new account.

Another new features allows you link a main Windows Live account with other Hotmail/MSN/Live email accounts and use a single login to access / switch between all of your accounts. At the top of the page, next to your email address, there’s an arrow that shows a list of your linked accounts when you click it.

One more desired feature is also there which allows you to forward your incoming emails to any email address of your choice. To use this, login to your Hotmail/MSN/Live.com email account and then go to options and choose “Forward mail to another e-mail account” link.
