Following are the steps to upgrade your normal Hotmail account to an
Windows Live Mail (Beta) account that gives 2GB worth of Inbox space.
The interface looks ugly for now and is pretty much just an AJAX
frontend to Hotmail.
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!)
