You must be already using multiple sign-in feature for your Gmail or Google accounts. The same multiple sign-in feature is also available across all services like Outlook, Skydrive, Hotmail and Live accounts offered by Microsoft. You can easily manage your multiple accounts without signing out of your first account. If you have more than one account for Outlook mail -previously known as live mail or hotmail- or if you have opened multiple Skydive accounts to get more cloud storage space, you can now easily switch between all your accounts without signing out of any account and get rid of the hassle of using multiple browsers and typing passwords.
The process is super easy and you just have to link your accounts once.
A confirmation message with ask, validate it and you are done.
Microsoft is launching more and more services. If you are a blogger or want more SkyDrive space or want different email address for work and personal use or for the any reason you want multiple accounts, this is the easy way to manage all those at one place.

- You will get the linking confirmation message about the two accounts with the account names.
