Do I need to sign up for a Microsoft account or is it the same thing as the Windows Live login?
Microsoft is phasing out the Windows Live label on its online offerings. A Microsoft account is basically a new name for the old Windows Live ID e-mail address and password you need to log into certain services. The company is in the process of switching things over, so you may see the Windows Live tag hanging around on some pages.
If you already have a Windows Live ID for the Xbox game console, a Hotmail e-mail account, SkyDrive online storage or another Microsoft service, you can keep using it because you already have a Microsoft account. Microsoft accounts can also be used to sign into a computer running Windows 8, the new version of Windows due out this fall.
