Xbox Live Child Accounts Finally to be Graduated

If you remember way back when the spring dashboard update was released, there was quite an uproar regarding some oversights on the part of Microsoft when adding certain features. Namely, the new Windows Live Messenger functionality was worthless for many due to the fact that it was impossible (well, without some fancy maneuvering) to change the Live ID associated with your Xbox Live account, and because anyone who had signed up for Xbox Live before they were 18 (regardless of their age now) was unable to even use the feature.
It seems ridiculous that we needed to wait so long for those issues to be fixed, but I’ve complained about the matter more than enough. A few of the undocumented changes coming with next week’s dashboard update include the ability to change the Live ID associated with your Live account and the ability to “graduate” your child account to an adult account. And if you happen to still be under 18, you’ll now be able to use Messenger.
I’m much less excited to use Messenger than I was when it was originally announced, but at least the issue’s being rectified for those who still care.
when i made my xbox live account , i put my age as 1990 but i meant to make it 1980. Is there any way that i can change this or delete my account and make a new one with the right age? if so please help. Thanks.

I have the same problem as johnny c. Help!
Hello, when I first set up my LIVE account it wouldn’t let me use my main msn address. It said it was already associated with an Xbox live blah blah. I have recently tried to change the email used with my Xbox MSN, to my main PC one, but the same error message pops up, any help?
PS: I have never had Xbox LIVE or any other LIVE accounts :S Help is desprately needed.
Thankyou in advance,
George.
