Today at the Microsoft Professional Developer Conference (PDC), the Windows LiveID team announced that anyone with a LiveID will soon be able to establish an OpenID for their LiveID.

Here’s what that experience looks like in the preview release:

Mike,
The url https://login.live-int.com/beta/ManageOpenID.srf is down (gives me a 404). In order to report the problem, I tried sending an email to openidfb@microsoft.com and it bounced back too.
