Well ... yes and no ... you can create a new Microsoft account at these domains:

hotmail.com
outlook.com

But if you log into that account, you can only create a new alias (10 are available per account) at this domain:

outlook.com

If you already have an active Microsoft account which has email at the following domains as the account address or an existing alias at that account, any of these will work for logging in, sending email, or receiving email:

outlook.com
hotmail.com
live.com
msn.com (I think this is still true, but I can't test it)

So if your live.com alias is still good at a valid Microsoft account, you can still use it.
