Why is Bnet still using windows live IDs? Arnt live IDs used only for Microsoft stuff and Bungie split with them in 07, right?

Probably within a year, (I'm guessing much less) b.net will switch so that you can use different e-mail address sites.

However, with a windows live ID, it allowed players to directly link gamertags to their account, so stats and things could be updated. This process is now able to be completed much more easily, and without solely using a win.live e-mail address as the sign up e-mail. (as required now)

Also, they were only creating the Halo games which was Xbox (microsoft) exclusive, so there was no need to get rid of the windowslive ID system.

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

Well soon they might have to link PSNs and Steam IDs for their next game...they still might use Windows LIVE ID for Xbox LIVE Gamertags.
