Winqual Down for Maintenance on February 10, 2011 The Windows Quality Online Services (Winqual) website (https://winqual.microsoft.com) will be unavailable, due to regularly scheduled maintenance, on Thursday, February 10, 2011. Please contact the Winqual Team (mailto:winqual@microsoft.com) with any questions or feedback. Winqual will begin accepting WLK 1.6 submissions starting on February 11, 2011. Winqual Account Holders Must Link Account to a Windows Live ID The Winqual website will soon begin supporting Windows Live IDs. Starting with the release of the Winqual website on February 11, users of the site will need to link their existing Winqual account to a Windows Live ID. The following best practices for Live ID usage on Winqual ensure a consistent experience across MSDN, Connect and, Winqual: - When possible, use your work email address for the Live ID you use to sign in to Winqual. This will streamline the user information when you set up your Winqual account.
- If you use a Live ID with the Microsoft Connect or MSDN sites, use the same Live ID for Winqual. This will allow you to move seamlessly among these sites, without the need to sign in again.
- If you already have a Winqual account (Winqual username/password), use the migration link to migrate your Winqual account to Live ID authentication. This will ensure that the permissions and settings you have through your Winqual account will persist after the migration. From then on, you must use your Live ID to sign in; you will no longer use Winqual credentials to sign in.
Note: A single Winqual account can only have one Live ID. You can sign up for a Live ID by going to www.Live.com, or by clicking the Sign In link on the Winqual site after the February release. Winqual recommends that users have their own Live ID and Winqual account.
