How do I register for Windows Live?

Games for Windows Live is a service thatallows registered users to play certain games online. But, before proceeding directly to the game, you need to successfully register in the service.

Then how can there be difficulties with choosing a nickname, due to the fact that the Games for Windows Live service does not support special characters. And this means that no curly braces, colons, commas, even dashes can not be used. All that is available to you for use in a nickname is small letters and a space.
