Currently, you do not have a report which you can publicly share for when you will recover full Production await of OpenID for Windows Live ID users, though rest positive which you have been operative actively to yield OpenID functionality to all of a 500+ million Windows Live ID users!
In further to mixed entry-points, as well as being means to insist singular vs. immobile identifiers to finish users - a categorical plea was aliasing:
In a CTP, Windows Live ID users were compulsory to emanate an OpenID alias (such as “http://openid.live.com/john“) trustworthy to their account, as well as afterwards to make use of which alias not only during a OpenID relying celebration site, though additionally as a proceed to brand themselves to a Windows Live ID OP. When nearing during a OP sign-in screen, users were compulsory to come in their OpenID alias (instead of their normal Windows Live ID user name) and a cue (or a single of their alternative compared credentials, such as an Information Card) from their categorical Windows Live ID account.
We had envisaged which regulating an alias for OpenID sign-in could yield a little subdivision of a dual temperament networks. However, a usability indication for this proceed has incited out to be unfeasible and/or only solid treacherous to users!
