After a few months without a word on @live e-mail addresses, news has appeared a lot on the subject recently. At first, they were officially available without using any kind of trick, but that method disappeared quickly. No more than a week after, however, a new unofficial way of getting the long-awaited addresses has just surfaced.
The trick is pretty simple this time, as it involves nothing more than modifying the contents of the address bar to link to the @live.com address registration page:
1. Visit the hotmail subscription page
2. Choose the free account
3. In the address bar, find and change "hmnewuser.aspx" to "newuser.aspx"
4. Locate and delete "&hm=1" from the address bar
5. Hit enter, and enjoy your @live address!
What are you waiting for? Go get yours while they're hot!
Thanks to Tom Stanley for the heads up!
Update: This method has now been disabled and no longer works. Hope those who were interested got one in time!
