A few years ago Microsoft said that Windows Live ID would be an OpenID provider. Have they actually gotten around to implementing it, and if so, where is the service URL?

Microsoft announced support for OpenID a few years ago. Where do I find it?

There is isn't OpenID support for Windows Live.

Ack, I meant to write it isn't implemented. Funny how one omission changes everything.

Can you please provide a quote form that page that actually shows that microsoft provided an OpenID provider for Live platform? – AndrejaKo – 2011-09-06T08:54:46.230
Yeah, I was wondering why all the downvotes. Then I read what I typed. . . – surfasb – 2011-09-06T16:30:20.087
All the Wikipedia article really says is they announced it, and nothing else. – CyberSkull – 2011-09-06T23:06:03.190
Yeah, I meant to type that it isn't supported. – surfasb – 2011-09-07T03:50:13.950

@mike-scott How am I supposed to find it there if I was just looking here? I'm not looking to write anything with their API, I was just looking to use it, which is why I came to Super User. – CyberSkull – 2011-09-06T23:00:16.523
@CyberSkull It's the seventh result on Google for '"windows live" openid'. It's hardly unreasonable to expect people to look through the first page of search results on Google before asking a question here. – Mike Scott – 2011-09-07T06:34:22.630
