Thanks for your kind response.

Unfortunately, I'm not in control of that process. I was only asked to follow up on several account to provide you a polite notification.

Because we do not have public registration open for Live.com accounts yet, all Live.com accounts currently created are considered "test" accounts.  Test accounts are scheduled to be deleted in approximately 3 weeks as a pre-release step prior to the official launch of Live Mail.

You can use this 3 week period to export your address book (Options >> Export Contacts) and redirect contacts.  I'm very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Please let me know if you have any questions,

Scott

Scott.Sxxxxxxx,

I'm very glad to  receive your email.
      If you want to know how I can get this account, please search the Internet and you find several bugs can be used before your official rollout.
      In addition, there are a lot of friends and business partners in my friend list of this account. If you delect it, you will make a big trouble for me.
      Thanks for regarding.

Thanks for your reply,

I'm very sorry for the misunderstanding.  My intent is not to threaten and I trust your intent is also not to threaten. J

We simply haven't released @Live.com addresses for public use yet.  The good news is that the official release of @ Live.com email registration is in several months.

As part of that launch, we are looking at addresses that were 'pre-registered' typically through a registration bug where a query string value could be changed to the Live.com domain value.  There were also a small number of accounts which were issued to internal Microsoft team members that worked on shipping Live Mail.  Some of those team members work in our China development group which is why I inquired if you were a Microsoft employee.

If you have any document to indicated it, please share it to me.
Or I will let others know how arbitrary and outrageous MS employee is.

Thanks

Are you a Microsoft employee?

I'm looking into how several accounts were created prior to the official rollout of @Live.com accounts.

Please respond by Friday or the account may be deleted.

Thanks,

Scott
