“Microsoft account is our identity service for individuals who use Microsoft products and services. You can use your Microsoft account to sign in to your Windows 8 PC, and then use the same account to check your billing for services like Xbox LIVE, Zune, and the Windows 8 app store,” Microsoft explained when it first announced the transition. The new Account website will feature an Overview, where you can edit your name and other personal information. A Profile section that takes you to http://profile.live.com. A Notification section that helps you manage your email preferences. A Permissions section to manage linked accounts such as Facebook and Twitter. And finally a Billing section which takes you to http://billing.microsoft.com.
