Microsoft is making new Windows Live services all the time. They have just opened up their domain name Live.com and other localised verities for you register - but only if you use this trick:

1. Go to [1] http://get.live.com/getlive/overview
2. Click the sign up button to get an account
3. Paste this code into your address bar:
   
4. You will see a message saying, “Success - additional domains added!”

You will then be able to make an email address such as yourname@live.com, @live.com.au and more. I signed up for an email address @live.com.au.

Update 14/11/06: Microsoft has fixed the trick and those who didn’t secure an email@live.com will have to wait until the official launch.

Update 16/11/06: Microsoft may delete all of the @live.com accounts registered, so the trick seems to have been a waste.
