Is MS closing marketplace on Windows phone 7?

[newnews]

Hi,

I have Lumia 900 as backup phone. Recently I found that I am not able to download any app from marketplace. I can open marketplace, search apps, but as soon as I hit "Install" or "Update" button, it leads me to a page to create live account, but I already have account set up.

I noticed same thing on my HTC arrive.

too bad, I just did a factory reset, now the phone is just like a phone 10 years ago, only phone call/texting.

I wonder if it's a temporary outage?

I noticed it last week when I hard reset my Arrive. I wish I wouldn't have reset it.

Today it does not pop up that window and straightly starts downloading, however, it stuck at 0% all the time.

Just checked my arrive. Shows 4 updates, when I select update I get same screen that asked to set up account.

I logged into windows phone.com on PC and brought up my arrive.
Now I was able to install the 4 updates. I also download wincentral app. And other apps.

Seems to be working again.

I did get message that problem with live id. I ok that and hit install again. Works then.
