Windows 8 farewells Live ID, welcomes Microsoft Account
Published on
Microsoft has announced Windows Live will be re-branded as Microsoft Account with the release of Windows 8. The cloud services featured in the OS will be an update to the Live platform in which users will create an identity to be used across Microsoft services such as Xbox 360 to SkyDrive and more. MS is changing the service in order to implement "a truly connected experience," which it felt Live ID didn't live up to. The firm also stated the change should eliminate any confusion among consumers when logging into MS owned services. There's a video explaining it more detail below. Thanks, Neowin.
