Originally posted by and mirrored by , these are directions on how to activate a account for your account. Once you activate this Beta you will be taken to Windows Live Mail rather than Hotmail when logging in.

Windows Live Mail is currently in an invite-only status, but these steps will allow you to circumvent the invite and activate the Beta access yourself.

1) Open up Internet Explorer. MSN likes Internet Explorer, and hates Firefox. (Damn Microsoft!)
2) For this to work, you must be signed out of MSN. Go to the MSN Homepage, and double check you are signed out.
3) Copy this URL to Internet Explorer: Right Click On Here -> Copy
4) You should be redirected to another URL (Another URL to login). Sign in.
5) You should see the regular hotmail once signed in.
6) Once you see the regular hotmail, do Step #3 again. Copy the same URL above.
7) Click ‘Particpate’ on the bottom (Scroll down!) and walla!
