@live.com accounts available publicly on Tuesday

LiveSino is reporting that Microsoft will be opening up registration for @live.com email addresses this Tuesday.  LiveSino, of course, is our sister site in China that translates our posts into Chinese and also has exclusive content of their own.  A source at MSN China is telling LiveSino that Microsoft will open up registration to the general public for @live.com addresses.  The scale of the rollout beyond the US and China is unknown right now.

While Microsoft has not officially confirmed this news, responding with a firm, "No comment," all signs are pointing to an open registration starting tomorrow.  So, stay tuned tomorrow so that you can grab that killer @live.com email address that you have been wanting.

I wonder if windowslive.com will be opened up?

I already have my initials(2 of them)@windowslive.com, but that was a fluke after the glitch was fixed on live.com

Hope it'll be available to switch to on the Accounts page. I want an @live.com address, but I still want my Xbox Live tag.
