Bungie.net login system - Hotmail is retiring

Now I'm not sure if any of you have been paying much attention around the Microsoft side of things, but just today Microsoft just announced a new preview of what's coming down the road to [url=http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/31/microsoft-reboots-webmail-efforts-with-a-familiar-name/?smid=tw-nytimes]replace "hotmail" with their new version of Outlook.[/url] If you go to [url]http://login.live.com/[/url], you'll notice that it looks a little bit different. However, the plan is to eventually move EVERYONE away from the "@hotmail.com" extension. [url=http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/microsoft-outlook-microsofts-webmail-service-takes-aim-gmail/story?id=16893915#.UBguXWlWrRc][quote]The new Outlook is an entirely new webmail service, complete with @outlook.com domains. It doesn't replace Microsoft's Hotmail or Windows Live email service, but it is very easy to move your @hotmail.com or @live.com email address over to the new service.[/quote][/url] [b]Now the question[/b]: Will this effect Bungie.net's login system? With a new bungie.net innovation and facelift right around the corner, can we expect to see a new login system with Outlook rather than @hotmail? Whether or not you like the change, eventually everyone will be forced over to the new service. Microsoft has had hotmail since 1997, and it's time for an upgrade. If possibly even the webteam could shed some light on this, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • It's going to be pretty disastrous if MS takes hotmail offline. Alot of people (myself included) have @hotmail addresses tied to accounts all over the net. Many of those require you to answer a confirmation email to change your existing address. In my personal case, I also have to make a new PGP key and sign it with my old one (which has an @hotmail adress tied to it). Hurray for lavabit I suppose.
