Live.com Has A New Sign-In - Softpedia

'Live.com Has A New Sign-In - Softpedia: "After launching Windows Live Academic Search, aimed at finding and accessing academic essays and articles, Microsoft recently announced the availability of a new sign-in for Live.com.

As the Live.com development team blog says, the new sign-in offers a new experience for Windows Live sites like Live.com, Ideas, Mail, Expo, Favorites and Custom Domains.

The Redmond company has given up on its usual webpage design and adopted a simple and intuitive design, which has led to a significant decrease in the loading times.

Instead of creating new Live accounts, Microsoft preferred to allow users to employ their old Hotmail MSN and Passport accounts; in fact, those who will try to create new accounts will be redirected to MSN.

The Live.com team emphasizes that the new sign-in will significantly improve the experience and accepts the fact that in the past, the procedure was cumbersome."
