You do not need to use a Windows Live ID to access MSN Bill Pay within Money
2007 or Plus (hence no need to sync)
But you may need to contact MSN Bill Pay (CheckFree) in order to get the
Subscriber ID to use in Money (since it likely will not be the same ID you
use to sign into
http://billpay.msn.com
