Windows LIve Mail and Windows ID the same?

[Octavio]

I am a little confused aobut these two, and still have some learnign to do.

I have Windows LIve Mail in my desktop, and now the Windows Live ID or
something like that is appearing in my computer asnwers and things.
Confusing, so I need to investigate.... and educate myself.

If this is not the place to post these qeustins, can any one provide me with
the link for the Microsoft Forums for those?

Thanks in advance.

A Windows Live ID is a combination of a username and a password that can be
used for several (mainly Microsoft) websites, services and applications. So,
Windows Live Mail is is an application that supports authentication with
your Windows Live ID. In this case, it is to collect your Live Hotmail mail
for example. You can also use your Windows Live ID at web based the forums
from Microsoft or get on-line with an Xbox 360.
