Microsoft's Google Envy is reflected in Windows Live Hotmail ID creation 2007-09-17 09:23:00 If you try to create a Windows
Live HotMail ID with a name contains "Google

ID contains a word or phrase that is not allowed. Please try again". Refer the image below.This reflects that Google envy has made Microsoft
selfish, in creating Windows Live HotMail ID itself. This shows that Microsoft is doing all sorts of possibilities for winning the online game with Google. But as the game gets tougher, Google is getting mightier.Similarly, if you try to create a Windows Live HotMail ID with a name contains a keyword like online, president, billgates, Microsoft etc and check for availability, then you will get the same error message that you got for yahoo keyword.The error message goes like this "The Windows Live ID contains a word or phrase that is not allowed.
