InternetNews | at | by Mike
Internet domain owners can now outsource their e-mail and instant messaging to Microsoft. The new service, Windows Live Custom Domains, lets domain name owners access MSN services without the need for a Passport, Microsoft's star-crossed authentication system.
The new offering, available in beta, is part of Windows Live, Microsoft's new hosted services center. Windows Live, announced November 1, also includes Web mail, a customizable personal start page and Windows Live Safety Center, an online security tune-up available for Windows machines, all in beta.
