+1  Q: 

Is Windows Live ID an OpenID Provider?

I've heard different things. Seems like Microsoft experimented with a beta service, but I don't know if it's still available, or ever made it into production.

If Windows Live ID is an OpenID Provider, where is the endpoint?

+1  A: 

Looks like it really hasn't made it into production.

No. Windows Live ID is not an OpenID Provider. They use a proprietary protocol. Ever since the close of their "beta" period, they've never announced plans to continue with it.
