Q: 

Creating a hotmail account from C#

Does anybody know how I would go about creating a new hotmail account from C# ? Screenscraping and POSTing ? or is there a simpler way ?

+1  A: 

Although I seriously doubt Microsoft has provided this in the Live API, it never hurts to take a look, I guess:

Live Services SDK

I'll take a wild guess here and say that bot-created accounts might be against their ToS.

You might be better off asking the users to create an account for themselves, or helping out a little bit by sending them to the register page or display it in a browser component inside the application, etc.
